On Memorial Day this year Thomas got the grand treatment. It was an absoultely beautiful day, I had my camera and took pictures so maybe your memories can be jogged of Memorial Days of yester year.
We started off the morning with the traditional ceremony at the South Jordan Cemetary where we ran into many extended family members and had what every kid waits for, the firing of the guns. In case you were wondering, kids still scramble to pick up the shells. Visiting with the Burgons and Miners was had and then we left Grandpa and Grandma to decorate the graves and we began a tour of the Mabey properties.
John reminised about the Albert and Celestine Mabey home and told Thomas where the original cabin had been. We drove down Mabey Lane and checked in on the new development that is starting to take shape. If you haven't seen the Hindu Temple or Annt Mame's house, I recommend that drive. Then we finished our rounds with admiring the beautiful old farm equipment in the farm yard. There are some dandies.
Hope your Memorial Day was as lovely as ours was.

mom, thanks for filling the rest of us in! Looks like it was another enjoyable Memorial Day in South Jordan!
I miss things like this from my childhood, and wonder if my kids are missing out by not living in a "small" town.
Thanks Cristie! that was great. I had to take time to "sign up" in order to read Marlene's Blog, so now maybe someday I'll learn how to "post". We may even get back to taking photos.
