Hank and Colette are at their cabin and we met for dinner and a movie on Thursday, 23 May. Dinner at La Casita was grand, as always, but the movie, The Great Gatsby, was just south of OK. The company, however, was great and made for a good evening. Today, 27 May, was Memorial Day. Everyone met here at the house before heading to the cemetery where we were regaled with tales of the ancestors. We regrouped at Hank and Colette's cabin for lunch and lots of good visiting. The day was beautiful and pleasant and we had a great time.

Oh how I wish I could have been there. And in the fashion faux pas, I think mom makes up for it with her cute green outfit. And I love that you all told stories at the cemetary, but I hate that I missed it. And the canyon...oh the canyon....sad times. And some of the younger crew are teens and pre teens and it is freaking me out.
(sad times for me cause I missed it. Not so sad for all y'all)
What a beautiful day -- and such nice traditions.
Anna sums it up perfectly!
