Peaceful Walk and Talk

Taking the remainder of the day off was the perfect plan.  This Memorial Day afternoon, I enjoyed a casual walk with a daughter and granddaughter to the Ogden City Cemetery.  We found our Rich ancestors’ monuments and markers, and a famous pioneer’s grave.  With perfect weather, loving young people, sweet recollections, and Dark Chocolate Oreos, I felt at peace.

We talked about my parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles.  I am not a great storyteller, but it felt good to share a few memories I treasure.  The peaceful walk with loved ones surrounded by beautiful flowers, helped me feel close to my sweetheart Kay.  Better than I do now, she knows many who have passed, and likely shares stories about Hinckley and Cannon adventures.  Our Kay has a gift for making people smile.  I know — she helps me smile every day.
