*After church, Christy and I drove up to the Greenwood Cemetery to lay flowers on Mom and Dad’s grave, Paul’s grandparent’s grave, and Paul’s younger brother’s grave. I also visited my best friend April’s mother’s and grandparent’s grave. What a beautiful cemetery, and it looked particularly wonderful today to see the flags next to all the veteran’s graves throughout the cemetery. Our KHS JROTC students do this every year. I meant to get a photograph of the flags. There is a Veteran’s section at the cemetery, and it looked particularly stunning. Molly and Travis also came up to the cemetery to pay their respects.
*On my way home I stopped at Yoke’s to look at their flowers to see if there was anything I wanted to buy. I still wanted some lavender to put in a section of our garden. Yay!! Yoke’s had some lavender plants. I bought two different kinds to plant in front of the bathtub with the dahlias and glads. I also bought two tuberous begonias to plant in the shade garden, and a pineapple sage plant and a stevia plant to add to my herbs. The pineapple sage plant smells just like pineapple. I looked up what culinary ways you can use pineapple sage, and I look forward to trying it this summer.
*Dinner was at 6 p.m. tonight at Christy and Everett’s house. Paul, Bill, Debbie and I gathered in their backyard, and enjoyed some appetizers, and then a lovely dinner that Christy prepared. We had a wonderful “Loaded Cauliflower Casserole” that was delicious, some Baked Parmesian Zucchini, and a salad with Greek Vinaigrette. We hadn’t been together for a family dinner for a couple weeks, so it was nice to gather together and get caught up.
*Back at home, it was a lovely evening outside. I walked around the backyard, continuing to read Matchmaking for Beginners by Maddie Dawson on my Kindle. It was recommended by a friend as a “fun summer read”.
