The "Decoration Day" of my youth.

The day would begin with my Granddad Amos, Pop and myself loading our lawncare tools and equipment into our 1949 Plymouth, AKA "The Green Hornet".

We would then secure our drinking water, sandwiches, sides, dessert, lemonade and KoolAide for me, all made for us by Granny Stella and Mom.

After loading ourselves into the Green Hornet, we headed out on our annual Decoration Day mission.

We visited several cemeteries however I recall the names of only three and they are Rentfro Cemetery, Hess Cemetery and Casey Springs Cemetery.

It was the three of us for many years, then, just Pop and me then I moved away and it was just Pop.

At the time, I thought it was a lot of work, but now, I hold those days as precious memories.
