Growing up, Memorial Day equalled a day at the cemetery and family get togethers. You see, cemeteries are our family's business. My sister and dad own several today. But we grew up going to Pinelawn Memorial Park, which my family still owns, my grandfather owned before them, and my great-grandfather owned before him. When H was born, we made it up to a couple services, but haven't been up for years. Today we finally attended one again. It's really a nice way to celebrate the holiday. Afterwards, my family came over to our house for a little grill out (Italian sausages anyone?). It was a great afternoon. The weather was gorgeous -- and we spent the afternoon just hanging out, playing games, and having a perfect Memorial Day.
