I clipped the article to keep for a while. I hope they get returned. I took my granddaughter to the Judy Garland festival in Grand rapids and that's when I found out they had been stolen. It's nice of you to stop at your grandparents graves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-38845235780586801442015-07-16T17:30:45.662-05:002015-07-16T17:30:45.662-05:00You saw a lot on your tour.

I see milkweed along the road and I wonder if I can pull some of it and plant it at home. They will mow it down along the road soon. I don't have many butterflies this year for being a good spring and rain is plenty. L.

Even then I think most people are too busy to even think of doing that. My hubby and I still do all the grandparents as well as the parents. linda mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203742811516417039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-11525669357835930692015-07-16T05:59:19.831-05:002015-07-16T05:59:19.831-05:00a million dollars.....so worth it:) Lovely stroll...a million dollars.....so worth it:) Lovely stroll you took.
