Decorating Graves

The boys took over the job of decorating all the graves on Mother's Day. I bout the flowers but they did all the decorating and research. I was very proud of them when they called and asked me to come and get them to remove all the decorations as well. Grandpa participated with them on this one and today he calculated the final tally. 238 graves were decorated, approximately. He said he was sure some of the tally was not accurate. It will be interesting to see what their next step will be. They are calling to let me know, I will keep you posted.

They actually made it to 1000. They are going to rest two weeks and think and go for 2000.

I am too far away from my family graves, but I have a friend that does this and takes pics for me.
