My brother and I took my niece with us on our yearly rounds to the various cemeteries where our relatives are buried, so we can clean the headstones. We got to 'introduce' her to family members she never had the chance to meet. Of course, I had stories to tell her about all of them.

Then we came back to my house. Her husband joined us (he's dealing with a torn Achilles tendon) and we enjoyed some Koegels Coney dogs with Flint style coney sauce, of course, drank some beer and enjoyed the beautiful weather.
