Senechal summer Visit

I have much to catch up on with our summer happenings so here goes.

In August we were thrilled to have,Kim, Yan, Nic, Luc and Yan's parents visit us on the ranch.

I hope they had as wonderful time as we did. Getting to know Rachelle and Bertrand was such a delight.

We had lovely weather to enjoy the outside only the mosquitoes were a nusiance.

Yan & the boys

Luc is moving around now so he was able to explore around the house. How I remember our kids doing some of these same things!
Grandpa gave Nic some tractor driving lessons.

Alberta Farm Century Award

On June 14, 2010 the Sankey family was recognized for having maintained ownership of the original homestead for 100 years and were presented with a placque by the Special Areas.

Dimitrious filed his homestead claim on April 2, 1910.

On Saturday, June 12, we had outdoor church at Kevin & Angie's.

The old train station was a nice backdrop. Some from the Hanna church joined us as well. We rounded out the day with a weiner roast & worship in the evening. Thanks Kevin & Angie for hosting us in such a lovely setting.

Saturday was also Father's 86th birthday & Mother & Father's 61st wedding anniversary. Congratulations to them!

Sunday we had a wonderful visit from Debby Schmitt & Mary, her mother-in-law! They live in Las Vegas & were in Oyen for a funeral. Thanks guys for taking the time to come see our beautiful green world!

Saturday afternoon Scott, Patricia & Skye came out & brought friends Irfan, Fatima, Ahmed & Sophia. They wanted a tour of the baby calves & bison. It was windy & raining so the tour was quick but we did enjoy the visit nontheless.


The observation has been made that it rains when Skye comes out so we will have to have her come out more often!
While she was here it managed to rain over 3/4 in.
