Wishing time…I wish we celebrate Memorial Day Differently I find it a cheap holiday that one goes and buy those cheap plastic flowers and sticks them on graves.
Yes and I’m guilty of it too.
Bart and I went up to Grandview to place some flowers on a few graves. Between Murphy and I would have to cover 15 graves for family members.
I stuck flowers on my parents that are buried together and one on Murphy mom and his dad.
I know quite a few people buried up at Grandview and I would tell Bart a little bit about that person history
I actual like some other country or different faiths on how they remember there dead here most of us goes once a year to a cemetery and place flowers on grave.
I think we should have one day a year to set up a memory for those who gone before us.
I never knew Murphy mom but I understand that she liked to read “Classic Books and have a display of her favorite books or have picture sense of that book.
Murphy dad real got into picture taking of birds and had interest in outdoors artifacts display some artifacts he found.
My mom always likes one or two lines of wisdom. Place a list of them. One of the things she made caramel pie and give free bites for those who visit her memory stand.
As for my dad he loved to fish and had quite a bit of fishing tackle enough to decorate a Christmas tree.
I know closes celebration we have to this Samhain but I know a lot of people who uncomfortable with spirits and ghost.
If it not a Christian base holiday places it with worshiping the devil.
I think their better ways of recalling or letting others know about the ones that passed over then putting cheap plastic flowers on grave.
It could be held up at a local cemetery and have potluck
Bart and I went over to the older part of the graveyard. Didn’t spend much time here.
I’m not sure who been buried here the longest.
I know my great grandma Cynthia, and her granddaughter Fay is buried and one of Fay son Peter is in old part.
