I was able to go home for Memorial Day. Unfortunately, my
dad and Kevin did not join us in Tabiona, but it was fun to spend the day with
my mom. Our first stop was the Francis Cemetery. My grandpa’s and uncle’s
graves seemed bare this year. Normally, my grandma would put two or so potted
flowers on their graves, but all we had were my parents’ flower on each grave. (Unfortunately, I forgot the camera, so all pictures are from my phone, and I do not have a smart phone, so a little bit worse quality than usual.)
We also stopped in Heber to put a mum on my mom’s uncle’s
grave, but I didn’t get a picture of that. We kind of got a late start, so we
arrived in Tabiona after everyone else, but they were just starting to put
flowers on the graves. Apparently, we kind of went overboard on mums this year.
We also got a family photo while we were there:

After we finished decorating the graves, we were off to North
Fork for our picnic up in the mountains. If I were to move to the middle of
nowhere, I think I would want to live in Hanna. It is beautiful and tranquil.
We enjoyed a yummy dinner of hot dogs and various salads and desserts. I was
creative and bought a seven layer dip at Harmon’s prior to heading to Kamas.

My
parents inherited my grandma's dog. She was still having a super hard time
being without my grandma. She would actually cry and whine at night (which led
to her being relocated from my bed to my parents’ bed the night before). It was
quite sad. She is doing much better now, although she has taken to barking (or
yipping) at 3:00 in the morning. My parents are a little fed up with their
unwelcome wakeup call. She is either asleep or camera shy in this picture:
