On Memorial Day this year, everyone gathered at the compound before
heading to the Provo Cemetery. We visited the usual graves and repeated
many of the same stories. The DAT and SKT families met at our house for
lunch: ham, baked beans, potato salad, jello salad, green salad, rolls,
chips, and some killer cookie bars for dessert. If that all sounds
familiar, it is because one year is often like another. That's how
traditions are built. In the evening, many family members gathered at
George's home in Alpine for a celebratory supper in honor of Tessa's
recent graduation from High School.
The family gathered at my parents' grave site
Uncle Hank relates a tale of Henry and Alta
Uncle Stephen was sick
Grandpa George "earned his rest"
It was a coolish day with snow in the mountains
the night before
Food!
Ann and Uncle
Enjoying the shade or sunshine, depending...
Gathering on the porch
Ben, George, Tessa, and Marian (the baby
is a tiny Bennion cousin)
It was a very nice day and will probably be the end of the fun until everyone gathers for Katy and Daniel's wedding next month. So, that's all for now.
OXO
