memorial day weekend

Dear family
Sat dad and I went to Midway and Heber and visited our parents graves. Sunday we attended
church and rested. Mon we made pancakes, took a walk at the Murray Park--looking at the flooding situation. we also cleaned out a cupboard, cooked up some meat on the bar-b-que, and took some thank you notes and rolls around to folks who helped with the reception. It was a good weekend. We talked about our parents and what wonderful people they were. All of them faithful in their beliefs of the gospel. All of them great teachers to their children. and:
*funny--good sense of humor
*dedicated to providing for their families
*good company to be around
*family oriented, with their own families and their extended families
*open to having people stay at their homes
*friendly to others
*just plain good.
I hope by us sharing some of these attributes--they come alive a little more in your minds, its always a challenge to know your parents and to know your kids and bring them together, since they don't know each other that well, but we have eternities to do that I guess and they are going to love you and you are going to love them, I feel certain.
