Memorial Day

Gram and I had a nice time today. We went to Portage to place flowers on graves. We ran into a Harris relative and a group of Gibbs relatives. It was fun to hear Gram reminiscing with cousins. I was also able to see the spot where Grandma grew up. The house is gone but I think that the view from the land is the prettiest in Portage! We also visited one of Grandma's cousins at her house and I loved hearing about Aunt Laura always having yeast starts and Uncle Cy always bringing a horse down when Grandma came to visit "Momma". She said that dad especially liked the horse rides.
After Portage we went to Tremonton. The cemetery was quite impressive with flower and American Flags. We placed flowers on Aunt Lalla's grave.

We stopped off last at Grandpa & Uncle Brent's graves. Grandma had already taken flowers on Sunday but she wanted to go back. I had never seen such a site. There was a line to get into the cemetery because there were so many people there and the lawn was covered in flowers. It was very beautiful.
