    Changing Friday Flowers at Family Cemetery

    Friday Flowers – Saturday six-word musings

    The end of May, like many times over the years, Neal and I made a journey to his home town of Ball Ground, Georgia (now called – North Metro Atlanta, he says) to visit his family plot at the city’s small cemetery. The changing of the seasons, Spring to Summer once again means time for new flowers for loved ones passed one.


    excerpt: “For as long as I can remember, having been taught by my folks, I have enjoyed “decorating the graves” of family members. Each changing season and holiday would find us heading to the various cemeteries and graveyards, spending time reminiscing and laughing at wonderful memories.” Neal

    As Fridays come, Today was beautiful and Neal’s brother Lamar met us there for a morning of memories and catching up on things missed during our busy, seeming non-stop retired lives.

    This being a small town and small cemetery, the grounds are kept very well. In fact, workers were busy mowing and edging the around plots as we drove up and made things look so nice visiting family members!

    Usually I get my hands dirty too but I allowed Neal to get right to work as I recorded the moments for family sharing.

    Is it me or have people in general lost interest in visiting family and love ones at their resting places? Dusting off the headstones or plaques, changing out the flowers, reminiscing about good times, sad times, old times. Catching folks up things since they been gone.

    To stop by and say:

    Mom, Dad, Granny Nix, I sure miss you! It’s a beautiful day here. You’ve been gone for a while. The kids are now grown, really big. Not much has changed in town. I sure miss you! But don’t worry, I know you worry about me… I’m doing fine…

    Momma and Pappa Saye.
