How do you spend your Memorial Day Weekend? Our family gets together each year and we go back to our hometown of Mendon, nestled against the great Wellsville mountain range, part of the Rocky Mountains. It truly is a most beautiful town. The cemetary was particularly green and beautiful this year due to the extended spring.
We visit the gravesides of loved ones who have passed on and remember them...this is my father's graveside...
My brother's graveside, who died way before his prime--he was only 25...
My grandparent's graveside, who immigrated here from England in the late 40's...
A view of the mighty mountains. I grew up with these mountains in my back yard. I'm afraid it is a love affair for life.... Tomorrow, we head north to pay our respects to my husband's side of the family. We are planning a trip to Suppose, a fabulous little quilt store as well. Should be a great day!!!
