Still More from the May Trip

These are just pictures I took in and around the house.

After the party, this certificate arrived from the Lawrence MacAulay, the Member of Parliament for the Cardigan district, congratulating Mom and Dad on their anniversary.

 David put in a vegetable garden where the garage used to be.

Many, many years ago, my friends Carter, Arnold and I "liberated" these hooked rugs from Jimmy Smith's house. I completely forgot about them, but Dad found them and brought them out.

They are faded, and tattered, but they cleaned up pretty well. On the edge of the rug above says "J.A. McDonald April 1898".

 Dad and I walk around a lot talking about the place.

More Photographs from the May Trip

I am very behind getting these posted, but its never too late.

 

The day after the party, May 25th, Dad and I went to Hopefield to look around. We went first to the old place.

We then walked across the field to Jimmy Smith's house to see if its still there. It seems this past winter really took a toll on the house, but its still up.

 Then on to the schoolhouse. It has fallen apart a lot in the last 2 years.

I have a lot more photos and I'll try to get them uploaded in a timely manner!
