Roots

This has been a year of many changes. This spring Middler daughter moved to Southern Alberta, in the area where my grandparents farmed and my parents once lived. Mom and Dad lived in the town where my daughter lives for a few years. My oldest sister remembers living there and took us back to where they lived.
The old hardware building....This building was on the corner by the road where you crossed the Railway Tracks to go to mom and dads house (1940's) in Okotoks, Alberta

Mom and Dad's house...

I love imagining my parents living there...young and with two little girls...

 A walk down town...took us to two buildings made into restaurants...

My sister recognized this one as the church they attended when they lived here.

 We had to eat here!!

Inside the 'church'

 Behind is the 'pulpit' area.
My sister and Middler...

Then we took a drive to where dad use to work...He worked at the Chinook Flour Mill.

It operated in the Mahon House ...

I would of never believed this beautiful house was a flour mill!

I loved walking the streets where mom and dad once lived...see the house they lived in...the place dad worked... I'm thankful that my sister was able to show me these places...

Is it just me...or do you connect with times past?
