Memorial flowers

Every year, my parents like to go out and plant geraniums on the local family (and family friend) graves. I've missed at least a few years of the past seven due to work, as has my brother, but this year not only did he and I make it out, so did his wife and their baby. Nibling was very well behaved for the entire trip, and I remembered where a lot of the graves we usually visit are better than I might have thought, given I haven't been on the trip in a while. It's still not as well as I used to remember them, but considering it's a once-a-year trip that I've missed several of recently, it's still reasonably impressive, IMO.

We left Molly the dog behind this year. Chester has attended in previous years, but Molly is... a bit more fussy than Chester was.

After, we all went out to eat at a local restaurant with outdoor seating. It was a very nice trip, all things told. Pretty sure I can honestly say I've missed making this trip.
