Memorial Day

Each year on Memorial Day we go to the cemetery and visit our family graves. We say hello to great grandpa Donohue, and great grandma & grandpa Rountree. We are grateful for our ancestors and our war veterans.

After visiting the grave sites, the mood swings rapidly from reverent to playful. They are kids after all. I remember climbing these same trees when I was a child. I am sure the cemetery's residents get a kick out of happy kids.

We've paid our respects to the deceased. Now it's time to go enjoy being alive.
