They started farming in the Handsworth, SK area.聽 Besides working alongside Dad farming, Mom was very involved with the Homemakers Club in the district.聽 She was one of the few ladies back in the day who actually drove a vehicle. In the fall of 1971, they retired off the farm moving into Stoughton. Mom helped Dad with his long-time interest in restoring horse-drawn vehicles.
