A southern Alberta couple's dreams are in shambles after vandals almost completely destroyed what was to be their retirement home.
At the end of June, Dean and Lorrenda Southern were preparing to move their house from its location in Brooks to where it now sits on a site just east of Drumheller, on a small acreage.
The house had been lifted onto the mover's framework and was ready to be transported to its new location on the last day of June.
That weekend also marked the couple's 35th wedding anniversary, so they headed to Saskatchewan for a romantic two-day getaway.
On their way home, they got a call from a friend.
"He said, 'There's been some damage to some of the windows in your house.' So we kept driving and I thought well, OK, (it can) be easily fixed. And then we had another phone call and said, 'There's been a lot of debris thrown out of the house.' And I thought, well, that's not so easy to fix," Dean said.
