October 26.o7

Hallo to my dear Family!It came to my mind when I was talking to you Ham,
We are On October 26 ,55 Years in Canada.I remember it so well,I arrived with Birgit and Helmut
by Boat in Quebec,from there we went by train through the night to Toronto.We were in wonder,when we looked out of the window.It was so different,than Germany.Most houses,even shads had a car.(hardly anyone in Germany had one.)It must have been Monday,because
most people had laundry on the line.The hydro poles looked strange "above ground."
You Birgit and Helmut wanted something to drink when we arrived in Toronto.I found a Bar,with hight bar chairs,you liked that.All I could say in English :Milk And Coffee !IoI Gosh I came a long way,don,t you think?Your Dad(Pappi)was told that the train would be late,so we looked and looked.We found a bench to sit down and waited!!!!We all were so happy when we saw his smiling face.Helmut you played with your little car on the floor and looked up and said"PAPPI"
The Farmer had a new car in witch he brought us to the farm,in Elmvale/Barry.
My first impression was:Canada is beautiful!We were welcome with a big heart by the
Family Turner.And there begain our life in Canada
One more thing.When Halloween came,Mrs.Turner dressed you up ,like three little mise,Mary
the oldest daughter was the farmers wife.I needed a lot of explanation,because we had no
Halloween in Germany.And so began the learning in the new country,wich we call HOME
today.I feel at peace.
Love you all.Mom/Omi
