Gone Was Our Large House on the Prairie!!!

When Betty and her children and I visited our old Manitoba homestead last week, we did not like what we saw!

For sure and the house was literally gone!!

Betty and I stood at the beginning of what used to be our street. The road was gone and the green grass and sprawling trees were growing wildly where there was once the sound of busy children running and playing and laughing and crying!

I "borrowed" a picture of what used to be our house from a man that had taken pictures of the air force homes before the houses were all torn down.
Actually, I just photographed a picture of the picture that was hanging on a wall at our school reunion.

Other buildings that had remained were dilapidated and run down, and THAT is what is left of the place that we used to live!

I was told that after the air force base had been shut down that the land was bought and a pig farm was put in. And the very nerve of those people!
They used OUR base swimming pool to wash those pigs in!!

Very, very sad indeed!!
