They then moved to Shell Lake, SK continuing to farm until 1954 when they moved to Prince Albert. Mom was a homemaker, loved baking, gardening, canning and loved playing cards. Mom enjoyed camping with Dad and her family, going fishing, travelling in Saskatchewan, Alberta and BC. Mom loved children so much she later had a receiving home for newborn children that were going out for adoption. She cared and loved for twenty-five babies. When the grandchildren were born they were the joy of her life. Mom always had cookies in her cookie jar and fresh homemade dill pickles.
