Today is Saturday and we will be going to work at 5pm, about an hour from now.
Sandy and I had an awesome day in the city. First we went to CU and withdrew a few funds.
Then we decided it was time to head to the memorial service for Ted Guest.
I had made a map from Map Quest and it showed going along 107 Avenue and then down 26 but when we went there 107 Avenue did not continue so we ended up going north again and across 112St. trying to get maybe to another piece of 107 Avenue. None of this worked! We drove around for an hour or so and I stopped and asked an old lady who was out raking leaves--this was around 108 Avenue--these streets seem to start and stop and continue in another part of the city and this was after we had got away out to 17th street with no 26 Street in sight.
And she told me about 5 different streets and directions to go on--so we started off with only 30 minutes to spare. I navigated the way she said and finally got onto the Manning Fort Freeway.
We continued on here but came out to a barren looking place and I decided this did not look right so whipped around and back down the other side of the freeway and made a turn and stopoped at A & W. And asked a male patron with 2 children how to get to Evergreen Memorial Gardens.
He said to get back on the Ft-Manning freeway and go north to 167 street and that we would then see signs. We had to go 2 blocks in the wrong way to get across a meridian and I then whipped a U turn in a driveway of parking lot, and got back, then turn onto the Ft-Manning Freeway and head back to the desolate looking area we had come from. Before we got to 167St however Sandy spotted a small sign saying "Fort Road" so we ripped off there and down that road. It was a narrow country style road. No houses, no other vehicles!
We drove about a mile or more and came to the burial ground and a building and I drove in there and then over to the chapel and we crashed in after Sandy put on his jacket and shoes and arrived about one minute before the service started.
Lots of people attended. Two hymns, one was Amazing Grace. The other: I Come to the Garden Alone.
We saw many people we knew at the service. A bus ran out from Westlock for the Seniors who are in the Drop-in Centre.

After this we went on our way and did a marathon shopping trip. Walmart was open late so we stayed longer than usual and had our supper very late and then went in to Westlock to get our mail. We got home around 1:30 a.m.
We worked last night but our server was down so we could not print the labels that we need for the paper next week. A shift is being run tonight and hopefully we will have the server up and running.
I had hoped to get a picture but we were too late to take pictures in the chapel.
