Beautiful Day

It was a gorgeous day so we took the boys with us to Owens Cemetary to clean off my Mother In Law's grave. Decoration is the first Sunday of May. I don't know about your neck of the woods but in ours, this is a day for everyone to put flowers and decorations on their loved ones graves. Many were there this past weekend for the pre-clean up.
They have church services and a big picnic. It is like a family and friend reunion. My Mother in law prepared for a month for the festivities every year so when she passed 8 years ago, my hubby and I decided to take up her part.

I took lots of pictures.




Beautiful scenic Hwy 7. We are about 80 miles from Mo.

The grave Ayden is standing by is my oldest (little) brother's childs. He died at birth. He would be 9 years old if he lived today.

This is an old country store, they specialize in canoe rentals to float the Buffalo. In the old days, Perry's grandfather was a guide. He got paid to drive folks vehicles to the end and then drove them back up.

I always get such a feeling of peace when we go up there. It continued all day and I really needed peace right now as many of you know.

We also went to the park in a little town east of the graveyard. I will save those for another entry.

This week Perry is on vacation so we are doing things around the yard and house then later in the week going on a few day trips, some of them with the boys. It will be Ayden's first trip to the Zoo. I am more excited than he, I am sure.
