This post is an interesting read .. I have an Aunt/Uncle and cousins in BC and my husband's grandparents helped start a church in BC in their youthful days.
My grandma also used to make rhubarb juice and can it and I loved it! My other grandma used to make a rhubarb strawberry jam that was my favorite at her house. Grandmas and rhubarb just have a way of going together. 😊
I love glimpses into the lives of women who were pioneers in the Wild West. And I especially love these thoughts and memories of your mom and grandma. 💖
Now I'd like to sip rhubarb juice at your table while we chat and the scent of lilacs drifts with the conversation.
Interesting! Can you explain cold milk soup? We sometimes ate what we called “farmer summer supper soup”: chunks of bread with bananas and milk and a little sugar. Was yours similar?

Grandmas and rhubarb go together—I love that. Now I’m curious who your husband’s grandparents were.😁
Yes It was Sterling and Rachel Carpenter. My relation go to the same church they helped start there in McBride. So kind of an interesting twist.🙂
I’m going to guess they were the Stirling Carpenters. They lived in McBride when we did and were good family friends. Esther was about my age

Yes! That would be such a delight.
I don’t remember that any of my grandmothers made rhubarb juice, but we did make rhubarb sauce and ate it in cold milk soup. It was delicious.

Yes, that’s what we called. Cold milk soup. We ate strawberries, bananas, raspberries any kind of fruit with it.
