Grandpa's Farm

On our last day in Saskatchewan we visited my Grandpa Honecker's farm which my uncle has done a wonderful job of maintaining. We enjoyed hearing stories from my uncle and aunt about their childhood. Life was a whole lot simpler back then. I wonder what it would be like to experience it for myself.
The barn is huge! It is still in great shape. I think that with a little TLC, it would make a great bed and breakfast!


The little (tiny!) house where my mom was born and raised (along with her 8 siblings). Mom and her sisters slept upstairs in the attic and her brothers slept in the small building adjacent to this one.




Grandpa built a bigger home in 1941. The linoleum in this house is beautiful - each room has a little different pattern.


 

My cousin Clint and his beautiful family.


So fun to be there with Doris and Jesse (my sister and brother-in-law).


We saw some moose on the way back to town! Photo credit to Jesse who was brave enough to get out of the car and takes some pictures while the rest of us "observed" from a safer place!
