Exceedingly Mundane

Tim and I went to Tee Time in Clinton late yesterday afternoon, and we stopped at the cemetery on the way. I had been wanting to get out and check on my mom’s grave, and put out some new spring flowers. They aren’t anything fancy, just some plain yellow ones. I have to be really careful and not get any flowers or flower combinations that have pink in them – Dodie hated pink! I love it, so I’m naturally drawn to arrangements that have pink in them, so it’s a struggle for me to get other colors!

I really miss her, even though it will be 4 years later this summer. I don’t think a single day goes by that I don’t think of her. Some days are better than others, of course, and certain times of the year are worse than others (the holidays, her birthday, Mother’s Day, etc). I always get a bit melancholy when we go here, but I’m always glad we go. I like putting new flowers out on her grave. I know she would be really glad to know that Tim and I go together and do that for her.

OK, here’s a picture of the new flowers for spring:

The view from Dodie’s grave… I think every time we come that she would really like it here. It’s very peaceful, with the tree and the lake behind her. She didn’t particularly like the outdoors, but if she did, she would want to be in some shade. 😀 She was always so hot-natured most of her life.
