Small town Saskatchewan.

Three of us from the office took a trip down south, to Cabri - 4 hours from P.A. It was our co-workers father's funeral today at 2 pm.

We were off at 9 am, John driving his '05 VW. Leather seats too.......nice.

Arrived at the Cabri Legion Hall with 7 minutes to spare!

Ever traveled down a grid going 120 kms.? Me neither.................

The whole town was there to say goodbye to their friend. The choir was seated at the front of the hall wearing their black pants, white shirts and red vests complete with Legion crest, and led us in the two hymns. Good stuff.

Mr. Charles Dodge was remembered in fine style and his remains were laid to rest at the Cabri cemetery.

There was lunch and coffee and lots of good conversation afterwards.

Then as quickly as we had arrived, we were gone again. Funeral bulletins in hand and an ever-present 60 km wind to push us back north, we were off.

Reached the little town of Kyle to fill up with diesel. There was an actual line-up at the counter in the little gas station and one woman commented on that fact. We wondered how often this would happen in a town of this size.

While leaving, the driver's side window took a header down into the door well. Good thing it was fairly warm out, as that made driving somewhat breezy.............

Arriving in Rosetown, it was decided to give said window a quick fix.

Out with the funeral bulletin for Mr. Dodge and with one person holding the window shut another stuffed Mr. Dodge's bulletin down the side of the window. It held tightly.

And we figured "Charlie" had finished his job here on earth.

The window stayed shut all the way home, so a huge "thank you" one last time to a grand fellow who was always helping others out.......and this time was no exception.

Oh, and we saw 5 live antelope, at least 100 million flying geese!!!!, several crows, one hawk, a mirad of road kill of various species............................. and one dead moose.

An eventful day.
