So, we decided on Sunday that we would go to Holden after church to see our ancestor's graves and to leave the ONE blooming iris we had on grandma and grandpa Hunter's grave. We ate a quick meal after church and headed out. We had a great time. I'm glad all four of us went. It warmed my heart to be in Holden. I spent many days there as a kid, visiting grandma and grandpa and walking down the street to Wood's Market. It was the only thing to do in town, besides play with the selection of games that grandma had in the house. I remember specifically the Cootie Game.
Memorial Day weekend was also a time to remember my Grandpa Sears and the time he served in the Navy in WWII. He never saw battle, as he served in San Francisco. He had some post with the mail. Mom and her siblings commented that grandpa was always proud of his service during the war.
