It was 100 years ago in September that my grandparents immigrated to Canada from Germany. This is where they homesteaded. The place did not look like this back then but it does look great now, thanks to my Uncle and Aunt who lovingly take care of it.
Mom and her siblings(9) were born in and lived in this little house. The stories are endless about the good times shared in these tight quarters. How they ever survived the cold Canadian winters and everything else we will never know!!
The girls had their room upstairs...
The living, dining and kitchen area...
A 'new' house was built in 1940, the year Mom and Dad were married.
The outhouse...Ha!!
The barn...
This is where a country church once stood. Lots of good memories for me as my first memories of going to church began here. We have such fun Sunday School memories from this.
