Near Tyne Valley, P.E.I.

I took this photo in the early 1990's up in the Tyne Valley area. The house is an Island-ell style house with a center gable dormer on the front and a similar smaller gable over the kitchen wing. I haven't been by this house since - it's likely gone. Great textures of colours and finishes.

Is this along route 12? I ask since it looks familiar to a place I saw when I was up in Prince County last summer. Still needed some serious TLC if it's the same place.

HERITAGE PRAYER

We keep forgetting all of those who lived before us.

We keep forgetting those who lived and worked in our communities.
We keep forgetting those who prayed and sang hymns in our churches before we were born.
We keep forgetting what our fathers have done for us.
We commit the sin, Lord, of assuming that everything begins with us.

We drink from wells we did not find.
We eat food from farmland we did not develop.
We enjoy freedoms which we have not earned.
We worship in churches which we did not build.
We live in communities we did not establish.
This day, make us grateful for our heritage.

Amen
