Memorial Day

Yesterday was Memorial day and most folks spent it at the beach, barbecuing , rioting or a combination of all three.  I spent my day gardening thinking of all the past yards and barbecues I attended with friends and family..  Most of the folks I spent them with are indeed gone and would require a visit to a cemetery as Memorial day dictates to actually "visit" them, or more specifically their remains.  I prefer to think of them which in some cases I do so daily remembering those who helped raise me or got me over and saw me through. More than anything else I wish I could say thank you.  I'd like to revisit but the last act or Our Town has always frightened me so.
