Memorial Day 2017
It's always nice to have a three-day weekend. Friday after work I drove the boys up to Grandpa Eben's farm for the weekend while Elizabeth drove to Chicago to visit friends. It was quite a fun weekend on the farm. Saturday morning Eben and I took the kids boating on Silver Lake. It was the first time that either of the boys had been boating. The waters on the lake were very calm, and it was a fun ride for us all. Nolan enjoyed counting the pelicans that were on the lake. That morning we also showed the boys Eben's cows. Nolan was able to pet one of the little calves. We also went up to visit Great-grandma Natalie at her assisted-living home in Ruthven. On Sunday, we took some flowers over to Lynn's grave at Logan Township Cemetery. I planted some orange marigolds by her headstone.
Last year I planted some Asiatic Lilies, and
two years ago I left some daisies at mom's grave.
