On Saturday, Steve and I took a trip to Fielding, UT for a little BBQ/Weenie Roast with my Dad. Janie and Kay and Cortney and Erin and the kids all met us there too. We had the greatest day ever! We talked and laughed and enjoyed the day. We also went to the cemetery to put some flowers on Grandma and Grandpa Moss's grave. I watched as my Dad loving took a bucket and scrub brush and cleaned it off. It touched me and taught me. In the previous post there is a picture of him cleaning it. Because of his great example, Steve and I left on Sunday after church to Tooele to put some flowers on his parents' headstones and to clean it off as well. It was a beautiful day and I felt close to them as we paid our respect. I was touched by Steve's careful attention. I miss them a lot and can only imagine Steve's sadness at times. It is a very beautiful stone. The Cemetery was alive with people and flowers. The colors were so vibrant. I also learned something I didn't know. People use the same flowers over and over each year. At the end of the Memorial Day week they return to the Cemetery to pick up the flowers before the caretaker has to throw them away. Huh! Didn't know that!
