Memorial Day

[eve_prime]

We had a fine celebration – we’d put a bunch of energy into cleaning J’s house, but the only thing that mattered was that I’d mowed the lawn, since I don’t think anyone else even went inside. First, I went to the cemetery with flowers for my step-dad, his first wife, and the other two people to whom I annually give flowers, then I helped J get things set up while he started the grilling. Our guests were D&S and DG, and eventually AA for a few minutes. Both of the women had rehearsals to get to, and in both cases their groups were doing their publicity photos today too! (S does K-pop dance, and AA is going to be in a musical about Johnny Cash). We ate and sat around and talked – it was much sunnier than the forecast – then the women went off to do their things and the men went off to play Magic, and I got to relax and read for the rest of the evening.
