As this Memorial Day rolls around I decided to pull more pics out of hiding and share them. Now, grandpa was always kind of a frugal guy which might explain why grandma has that floral arrangement pinned on her chest there. This is just my theory, but I would image there was probably a funeral in the church just before they were married there. We went to the cemetery today and much to our astonishment their graves had been moved from the last time we were there also, the tree was moved and the....getting lost in a cemetery just doesn't sound as dramatic. We did not get pictures of Wadlow's grave this time because no one brought a camera. Until September 13, 2001 we boys didn't have a real need or desire to be in the graveyard at least during daylight hours, but we have spent way too much time there from that point on. We hopefully will be making a trip out there before too long to make sure a headstone is put in place. We have waited over two years for this, and now it is almost reality. I can't wait to close that chapter. Have a Safe and Happy Memorial Day! God Bless!Sunday, May 27, 2007
They actually did make a great couple
