Last Car Show at Minter Gardens...

PEDEGOest I will go...to the Car Show at Minter Gardens.
I took these photos for those of you who couldn't/wouldn't make it.

Surprise, surprise, look at all those cars. It was a lovely day and the last car show at Minter Gardens... 


 The parking lot was full and overflowing! We didn't have parking problems, we walked here.

 Lovely color...oh no, what happened to my PEDEGO!














 This is what Peter drove while we were dating, and this is what we drove all the way to Winnipeg with after our honeymoon. It was jammed packed!
Now this would have been better...
 Cars, cars, cars and more cars...





 He's still busy...







 My maternal grandfather, Heinrich Franz Janzen, had an estate close to the city of Omsk, in Russia. On Sundays, he...no, his driver, would take the family to church in a covered carriage pulled by the finest horses. The seats were covered in blue velvet. During the church service, the drivers designated job was to look after the horses and carriage so no one would steal them. On his farm, grandfather had between 80 to 100 stallions. They were his pride and joy. Three days after his death, the Bolsheviks came and stole all the horses.
 And on a happier note...look who came to Minter Gardens! From sshortest to tallest: Julia, Leah, Emma and Linda Klassen--my niece and her girls, my grand nieces. What a nice surprise!

Wishing you a safe journey...
Hilda
