On this Hobby farm they had milking cows to see to their need for butter, cream, and milk. There also were cattle on the farm adding to their food staple. Their mother always in spring grew a huge garden full of all types of Vegetables, which what they didn't eat and that was much seeing as the garden was so large and the soil so rich. So there was much canning for the winter months ahead taken care of with Mrs. Enns Sparse time. These things taking care of the nutritional value of the children to great lengths, there also at many points was a horse or two added to the herd of cattle for the enjoyment of his Sisters as Robert himself was terrified of them. In Roberts eighteenth year his family Mother and Father decided they would move to a town about two hundred fifty miles south of where they had been living for so long. They all packed up except for the middle aged Sister Gloria who had now become married, and moved to the middle of the Okanagan Valley in the town of Penticton where Robert still lives alienated by his Sisters and in poverty lives in a one room motel suite trying but rarely making ends meet.
