TODAY IS MEMORIAL DAY
When I was a child, my mother and my aunts and us kids would all pile into the car, loaded with lilacs and iris, and whatever else was in bloom. Together we made a day of going to all the cemetery's that all our family who have gone on before us were at. Somehow it was fun for us kids. One year I remember my mom and my aunts determined to find one little headstone that belonged to my cousin Mike who died long before I was born. When we did finally find it, it was covered with grass and about the size of a brick. The aunts, cleaned it up and graced it with a lovely live bouquet. Today I would like to honor my family with this portrait, that is the cover of our family's cookbook. I LOVE YOU ALL!
