A Day In The Life.....

[disneydream06]

I know I shouldn't let it bother me, but...

Memorial Day is the traditional time, here in the State, that we put flowers on the grave sites of our departed relatives.
I have put pots of flowers on my parents grave site, both my grandparents grave sites, and my aunt and uncles grave site.
I went out last night to water the flowers.
There were a couple of fake flower arrangements on my aunt and uncles grave site. I assume from their kids. They have 4.
There was nothing else on my mom's parents grave site or my parents grave site besides the pots that I have put there.
3 kids in my family and 4 cousins and apparently they can't honor our grandparents or my parents.

And don't even get my started on the VFW who still have not honored my dad with a military flag holder and flag. :o

I know the military flags can take a long time to get. I know with my dad, the mortuary put I the request, if I am remembering that right.

Oh, these are just the little flags that they post at the gravesites every year.
And this makes the second Summer that he should have had one.

[kaishin108]

ahhh I see! That's sad. :(

[disneydream06]

I should look into finding some small US flags and put it out myself instead of relying on the VFW, and then just make sure I take it down before they take it again. :)

[kaishin108]

That's a good idea!

[disneydream06]

I picked up a couple of US flags today.

Along with a Canadian and Ukraine flag to put in my front window along with my Pride flag. :)

[kaishin108]

That's great! I want to get a few Canada flags and stickers!

[disneydream06]

I've been looking at some political car magnets on ebay.
Also need to see if I can find car magnets for the Pride, Canadian, and Ukraine flags. :)

[kaishin108]

We never put anything on our cars but a Canada sticker might be nice. Oh and yes PRIDE for sure!

hugs, Helen

[disneydream06]

I've done magnets before, but I won't do stickers.
Although now that I have a "new" car, I am a little leery of putting anything on it. LOL...

[kaishin108]

Oh right! I hear that, new car and all.

[disneydream06]

Only trouble I had with a magnet in the past was after being on for quite awhile, it started to stick to the vehicle. So not sure if was the magnet, the heat, the vehicle, all the above.
If I decide to put some on my new car I will have to take it off periodically and make sure I take them off when going through the car wash.

[kaishin108]

Oh yes, maybe the heat melts them on. Yes, and I forget stuff like that.

Decisions Decisions... :o
