That was absolutely beautiful! I love a cappella music.

I enjoy our on-line friendship very much. I wish we could sit at each other's kitchen tables and chat. (Especially if it was at YOUR table because that would mean I would be visiting Canada! And because my kitchen table always seems to have folded laundry or in-progress school projects cluttering it.) :)

GOOD FOR YOU

The desire to acquire and the stresses of successes Can be makings of a heart attack. The affliction of addiction, and the slaving after craving Show us what it is we truly lack. All bad stresses and life’s messes, all your hurries and your worries Leave down at the cross each day. Yield your will! Come, heart be still! In each test you can find rest, If you’ll listen and obey. True confessions of obsessions, facing fears and veils of tears On to freedom; letting go! Daily living with forgiving, in attitude of gratitude, Helps us to mature and grow. There’s no gain without some pain; there’s no life without some strife. Always God sends what is best! Turn your face towards His grace; He’s the One, God’s only Son. He’s the Rest for all the stressed. Close your eyes and realize, a breath of prayer and He is there! His loving Hand will guide you through! What joy and peace! Awesome release! A steadfast mind! Yes, you will ...

Welcome all BATW visitors !! Debbie does a wonderful job taking us to fascinating places around the world! Thank you so much! So, grab a hot chocolate, or that second cup and enjoy the visit. Here are some facts about the Province of Alberta, part of western Canada, where we've lived for 37 years! Thanks to Doris for this lovely winter scene! Didn't have my own! It's winter here now but we do get the four seasons and they are beautiful. Love this photo - thanks Evi! The days are getting longer and soon we will have spring again! The trees should have green leaves by Mother's Day! Alberta's license plates read, WILD ROSE COUNTRY. Click on the rose to read more about it! Alberta had it's centennial celebrations in September '05! We're still quite young! If a 21 year old had ten bucks to his name in 1905 he could buy 64 hectares - over 150 acres. Of course it had stipulations, but wouldn't that be fantastic nowadays. I'd even pay $1000.00, oh ...

Peter’s mother had five children from a previous marriage; with Karl she had Klaus, Peter and Renate. Klaus, Renate and Peter at their last visit So glad Renate was able to visit for a few weeks before Peter died.  Karl immigrated to Canada in 1950, settling in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and Martha and the children followed later. Tragically, Peter's mother, Martha, died of cancer shortly afterwards. After spending a year in the care of his Tante Emma, he was reunited with his father, who had remarried.
