Goodness, retired people can get quite confused. I went to take a picture of the Tribal Cemetery with all the flags for you to see and they weren't up! Then I finally realized it was Sunday and not Monday.
I'll take and post the picture tomorrow. In the meantime, since I had to make my Dad an American posthumously in order to be a child of 2 American parents, I thought I should honor my Dad's service in the military. He was a Corporal in the Canadian Army and got as far east as Halifax when the war ended (thankfully). Most of his army time was spent in Prince Albert, Sask. In the Army he learned two trades -- shoe repair and medic. I guess he repaired soles and souls.
My brother Don was born in Prince Albert -- he was the city's New Year's baby in 1943 .
So, a salute to Alder and his twin sister Evelyn both in the forces in WW2!

Wow mom! You never stop learning new things! That's one of the things we love about you. :)
Love your "bird droppings." SO FUNNY. Just think - before long we'll have taught you how to spk n txt.
Though - who'd want to do that?
How come I've never seen this picture, did you just dig it up recently? I love it.
Thanks Joss. No, I don't think I'll get into the text messaging thing -- it's hard enough for Dad to understand me now -- think of what wld hapn f i spk n txt!! The picture of your Grandpa and Great Aunt Evelyn was one that I scanned (among others) when I was in Sask visiting Lynnette. I have a few others too - waiting for time to get them organized.
