Remember in December

Pop and I went out to the cemetery yesterday to put some Christmas flowers out for Nana and Curt. It was nice to see so many flowers there. The cemetery is very well taken care of and always has so many flowers out. I was having a hard time getting the arrangement I did into the vase for Curt. The vase is just a little smaller in diameter than the one for Nana. I found myself wishing I had a pocket knife to shave the styrofoam down just a tad to get it in the vase. Since I didn't, I tried to just push it in and wound up breaking the bottom part of the styrofoam. One of the directors came out with me and called one of the gardners over. He was very nice and finally got it shaved down enough to stay put. I know it makes Papa happy to see the sites looking nice. He swept a few grass trimmings off both headstones as the grass had just been cut. He always says to me that Nana would be mad that we put flowers on. Even though she loved flowers, she didn't like people to spend money on flowers for her. I told him I don't think she would be mad. She did so love flowers and anyway, she can't argue about it now. It was a nice visit there and I look forward to going out with him to spend a few minutes there. Of course I forgot my camera again, so these are just off the phone. Robert was kind enough to get them off my phone and onto the computer desktop for his techno-challenged mom. Thanks Robert.
