We took the boys & Gramma to see where Grampa's ashes were laid. We had missed the Grandfather part on the plaque, but Mom wasn't exactly in mindframe to make a whole lot of decisions when they asked what to put on there (four words). I thought we might have substituted 'Grandfather' for 'and' but I believe I hadn't caught it until just afterwards and just let it go.The boys really felt we should have brought flowers for him, so when they saw some floating in the fountain they took one and we managed to place it by the plaque. It's been one year now since his passing, and they hadn't been here yet. They hadn't even been to a cemetary, so we walked around a bit and looked at gravestones. It is a relatively new place, so the oldest stones were 1999.
Gramma is doing remarkably well. She has a tremendous group of friends at the park and church, and is usually busy with something or many things every day. We were glad to be able to spend the day with her and take her out to lunch to celebrate her birthday a couple days late at Red Robin.
