More photos, less farm work

In 1948 my youngest sister and her husband immigrated to Canada. We used to spell it with a "K", "Kanada", but I guess we were told otherwise at some point.
And there it happened all over again; pictures and letters from a strange and far away place. It looked a lot more exciting than what my life had been up until that point. 
Not much had happened in my life at that age aside from living and working on a farm that my parents owned. We did the occasional camping trip or a bike ride into Breda, where my brother lived close to the Belgian border.
But things were about to change. We, my mother, father and myself, moved into town into a "normal" house. There was no more farm work and all the chores it entailed any longer.

    Memoirs of Catharina Brussé

    This tale is as written by my Oma, who proudly and joyfully travelled the world in the second half of her life. It is a self written outline of her travels and life. She ended her journey and departed our family on April 20, 2018. 
    Photos to be added of her adventures as I am able to collect them.
