Last night we unexpectedly found ourselves in Calgary and will be here for the rest of the week due to a death in Dartmouth. Bernie Alders, age 90, was Nathan's home teaching partner for the whole time Nathan lived in Dartmouth and Nathan wanted to attend the funeral so he was able to schedule some business meetings in Halifax and Dartmouth. We knew the Alders when we were in Dartmouth. Bro Alders worked at the temple when we first were there, but he quit working there as his health declined. Sister Alders worked in the temple the whole time we were there. She drove to the temple twice a week even when others thought the it was too stormy to travel.
Today is Canada Day. Bob and I with the three youngest boys (the oldest boys are away with the scouts canoeing on the Milk River) drove out to Elbow Falls. There were hoards of people there. The parking lot was full and cars lined the highways near the falls. There were also mosquitoes. Mattie suffered a few bites. Although it was sunny and warm in Calgary, it clouded over near the falls and was a few degrees colder. We only stayed a half hour and had our snacks before heading back to Calgary.
Jeremy and Julie dropped in just after we got back. They had been to Echo Lake but came home last night.
