Memorial Day

Well, it was a little too windy here in Blanding for it to be a great Memorial Day, but it was still a decent day. We had planned on going for a ride down south to look for some more petrified wood for my moms garden, but because of the wind, we backed out on that one. So we spent most of our day at home relaxing. We did go to the cemetery and look at a few of the graves. We visited my Grandpa Redds grave, he died when I was only 5 years old. We also visited the grave of my Great Grandma Palmer. I hadn't seen her grave because I was in DC when she passed away. After paying our respects to those who have gone on, we came home for a little more fun activity. We started making up some sweet kabobs and fired up the grill. It was fun putting them together, and cookin them up. I also made a cake while the kabobs were on the grill, so we had a good feast for the night. So it wasn't the most exciting holiday, but we still had a good time.
