My grandparents plot at the cemetery is not too far from the Norwegian relative that I’m studying now that I’ve returned close to North Dakota.  It was GREAT fun to visit with a 90 year old Aslakson relative and her friend Metta who was daughter to one of the governors of North Dakota.  Metta is my Mom’s age.  The weather was rainy and windy so I planted three geraniums in about seven minutes time and quickly got out of the Grandfield cemetery.  How nice to spend the afternoon over a leisurely lunch and then we drove to Metta’s 100 year old house that her husband’s grandfather built.  So much history, so little time!
