After the Berg picnic last Sunday, we stopped by St. Joseph's cemetery.

Saturday, June 30, 3012 - I'm finally getting this picture in here.  The other night, I told mother that I had stopped by the cemetery to say Hi to Grandma and Grandpa O'Malley and check things out.

She asked if the peony plant was still there.  Oh yes, you can see it on the right side of the gravestone.  Of course, it was a little bit wilted by the heat and lack of rain but it's still there.

And guess what, it was there when my mother was a little girl because they would go to the cemetery after church on Sunday to pay their respects to Grandpa's mother, Ann and baby, Mary Isabella.  WOW!  That is one sturdy plant.  God bless them all, djb
