went up to the cemetery where my parents are buried. needed to see if their graves were in better condition than last winter! everything was fixed and so we came back home and wrote out a check for a years worth of holiday flowers for them. dad's flag gets put there by a vets group and you aren't allowed to plant flowers at this cemetery. everyone else is buried at another cemetery and we plant flowers there every year.
last year i was very upset at how my parent's graves were. i know in the long run, it doesn't matter. they aren't there but i promised to look after them because it mattered to them!

now, i'm addressing xmas cards.
