Photo Challenge Day # 327

Day # 327



On Easter Sunday, April 5th 1953, Herr Hennig had asked Fraulein Lutz to come to Canada and marry him. She said yes! 
On March 10th, 1954, mom left Germany on the Beaverbrae II for St. Johns. Her trip ended with a train trip across Canada to Taber AB. where she sat outside the train station, on her trunk, waiting for her fiance to meet her and take her to Vauxhall AB. 
Mom and Dad were married on April 2nd 1954 in Lethbridge AB. 


Day # 327 " Still life of a cookbook" 

Mr. & Mrs. Hennig's travels took them from Alberta to Saskatchewan and finally to British Columbia adding a daughter and 4 sons to the mix! 

I think that our mom who was 20 years old at the time she left her family and everything familiar in Germany to immigrate to Canada, was pretty brave young lady. 

Could you do this? 

I dedicate today's photo challenge in honour of our mom who today loves to share her and dad's stories! 

See you tomorrow with Day # 328!
