A Meeting at the Cemetery

Grace and Sue

My niece Susan has blogged (http://onlythemanager.blogspot.com/) about the visit she and her daughter and granddaughter made to our town yesterday to visit her mother--my sister Grace. My daughter, Anne Marie, and I met them at the cemetery where so many family members are buried. We were there to pick up the Memorial Day decorations and visit the graves.

It was a first visit to this cemetery for Maria (http://maria-rose.blogspot.com/) and little Cordelia. We all took photos, of course. So here are my versions of our visit.

Maria and Cordelia, who was feeling rather shy as they had just
arrived. I doubted that she would remember me, so introduced myself
to her as her Great-great aunt Michelle. Wow--it's a little shocking
to think of myself as a great-great!

Cordelia balance walking. As she grew accustomed to us, the shyness
was gone and she became a charming chatterbox.

As we picked up the flowers from the graves, Cordelia distributed
them to each of us, making sure everyone had flowers to carry.
Then, in a few minutes, she would redistribute, so that we each had
a different bouquet.  I guess she wanted us each to have a chance to
hold every one of them.
