Cemetery Run, second day
Just got back from the second day of our weekend-long cemetery run.
This time, it was our turn to visit my paternal aunt and her husband, my maternal grandparents, the husband of my maternal aunt, and that dear friend.
The visit to my maternal relatives was ordinary fare. It's another chance for my mother to get together with her sisters, which is not a rare occasion.
But this is the first time I would visit my dear friend on this day of remembrance. I took Bea with me because she's my friend's goddaughter. Unfortunately their family's mausoleum was locked and we just got a glimpse of her.
Fortunately, we were not alone. We met her cousin there, with her family. But since the doors were locked, we did not stay for long.
Bea and I left early because she has an overnight birthday party at a nearby hotel. My sister scolded me for allowing her to attend but I let her attend, anyway. It's still her vacation time.
That also gave me a good reason to leave early and beat the traffic slowly building up at the cemetery. It appears that people prefer to flock the place starting late afternoon to the evening because of this unusually hot weather we are having at this time of year.
Anyway, I'm back home now, blogging and resting for the busy week ahead. Unlike my kids, I don't have a semestral break. It will also be another crucial week ahead so I better end this entry. Oh, it's also a crucial week for the world also, because of the 2008 US Presidential Elections.
Again, have a safe and meaningful weekend.
