Welcome back all, after some time I have rejuvenated my blogging and hopefully everyone will enjoy what I have to offer. The photo here, is the house my Great Grandparents built in the 1800's near Candiac Saskatchewan, I had the opportunity to travel there and photograph it a week or so ago. My Grandmother Edith Hewines was born in this house in 1898, she lived there until it she went on to further her education and become a teacher. My Granddad came from London England to Canada and arrived in Glenavon Sk to work for a local farmer. He wanted to file for a homestead so he travelled to Alberta, landed in Sibbald on the train and heard there were homesteads available north towards Esther. He walked several miles and found a 1/4 section that he liked and filed for homestead there. A few years later he and Grandma were married and moved to the homestead a few miles south of Esther and that is where my part of life began. My Mom was born in Loverna, Sk. and later on met my Dad at one of the local dances and the rest is history for another blog.
