I have noticed lately that when people are posting events on Facebook, they forget to put where the event is taking place. Many of these events are not in our area. It is hard to attend an event if you have no idea where it is taking place. Be sure to put an address on your poster for an event.

When Melvin and I were on a trip, we stopped in Guthrie, Oklahoma. While there, we decided to take the narrated bus tour of the city. While we were waiting for the tour to start, we were talking to the driver. He was from Sturgeon Lake and lived near us when we also lived in Sturgeon Lake. Small world.
