Visited VA Cemetery Today

Gram and I will be taking the wreath for my Grandfather as soon as the weather breaks, ed.

(he is not in a military cemetary, but is a vet)

((Ed and Mrs Ed))

I keep getting emails from companies wanting to cremate me. I hope they don't know something I don't.

My parents' graves are in a VA cemetery. If someone or some people are putting up wreathes, that's ok with me. I might, as a crabapple, work up angst re imposition of wreathes re the beliefs of the buried, but not today.

I didn't visit there in a routine way, after they were buried, but I did; not usually on holidays. I worked across from that cemetery not long before my father's death, and heard taps through my lab window (had that lab in, what, '65 - sometime in '67). My father died in '68. Usually the taps were at 10 a.m., if I remember. Dolorous, even before he died, dolorous.

There are some piquances to all that, for me, not to explain here, but for all.

Hoping they don't make plans before your time.

Seriously, it is nice to see the recognition of your service men and women.

Oh well, I was in my forties when AARP began hounding me to join up.
