I guess like everyone, I don't know
where the time goes. Summer as usual was too short. Sad to say one
of our big outings was a trip to KFC in Fort Qu'Appelle. On the way
home, north on highway #35, I realized that we weren't really that
far from the Lipton Hebrew Cemetery, only 8 km as the crow flies from
Lipton really isn't that helpful. Follow #35 north to Hayward road,
turn east (right) for about 10km on a gravel road, then north (left)
for another 2km about. Beautiful countryside.
The grave houses are rare to this
province and even though we were welcomed by big vicious mosquitoes
and ran quickly through the cemetery it was well worth it. The museum
is a little tin shed but don't let that fool you or let the
mosquitoes drive you away. It is very informative.
As a bonus we stopped at a sign for the
Reindeer School ( Tiferes Israel School), again a chance to view the
countryside that the early jewish immigrants from Romania and Russia
settled and established a farming community around 1900.
