"Decoration" Day Adventure

Many of my ancestors are buried in the Richfield Cemetery! Yesterday, Gene and I met my mom at the cemetery to "decorate" the graves.

Richfield Cemetery is a combination of "Pioneer" and modern head stones, I love to drive into the cemetery and see all the flags flying - there appears to be a flag on every "veteran" grave, and it is beautiful. Richfield comes out in mass to put flowers on the graves of their ancestors - we were no exception yesterday!

Here is my Mom - "Visiting her friends"! The stone to the left is my Dad's, but we had to walk around a couple of block so she could see who was recently buried. She said when she wanted to visit friends she had to come to Richfield Cemetery - she is the last of her generation.

After our chore is finished we usually go to JB's for lunch - Gene and I drove in from the North so didn't notice all the traffic signals were out. We drove to JB's and it was closed we continued to drive through town - no traffic lights - no traffic - everything was closed due to a power outage - the closest place for gas or food was Elsinore. The one place (gas station with snack bar) in Elsinore was so packed we opted to drive into Monroe.

In Monroe we found the Sage Brush Grill, it was very busy and very noisy - a small place, however with little other option we waited and had a delicious lunch - you really must try it. Potato Soup with home made yeast rolls - Country fried steak - I brought half of mine home for lunch today! Check out the web, I guess they are famous and we didn't even know they were there. It may be a favorite place to go when in Sevier Valley.

A good day, good to see Mom, she appears to be doing well - she is walking better and not complaining so much, I may have to do this again next year.
