BEFORE THE SNOW FLIES


Hubby and I are heading down south

Looking forward to seeing these pastoral scenes

along the way that will bring us ever closer

to our kids and kidlets in southern Alberta.

Pray for traveling mercies please!



Wide open spaces!
Green Acres is the place to be!
(If you're old enough have I got you singing the theme song?)


Wonder if the Pickers looking for antiques
have been here.


So many farms have man-made homes for cutter bees!

Check out the information about the cutter bees HERE


Things probably won't look as green

as I took these photos in the spring!

It's got a rugged beauty any time of year.

HAVE A BLESSED WEEK-END EVERYONE!

Have a safe trip and a wonderful time! My hubby and I will be heading south (well, Kentucky) for a few days next week because he'll be preaching in a meeting. Guess that means you and I can make Internet connections again when we've returned from our respective ventures.

(Speaking of ventures, would you really, truly help me out by reading a few chapters of my German genealogy book? Drop me an email or FB message after you get back home.)

I have to tell you how funny it strikes me to read that you are heading south - to Alberta! It's all in the perspective. :)
Have a great time!

Hmmm...bees in straws. Now you know I will think of those bees every time a suck on a straw! Yes, I've got that goofy Green Acres song in my head now. It seems you haven't posted in awhile. Anyway, ever since your last post, I've been humming "This Is My Father's World", now it's replaced with Eddie Albert and Eva Gabor! Prayers for safe travel coming up! Have a blast!!

thanks for the lovely photos, Karin, and enjoy the green scenery while you can. I understand winters in Canada are pretty harsh!

Have a wonderful weekend and a safe trip down south ;-)

My Love! Hans Peter Ristau  November 24, 1939 - May 21, 2013 EULOGY presented by his son Dr. Kenneth Andrew Ristau  Hans Peter Ristau was born to Karl and Martha Ristau on November 24th, 1939, in Berlin, Germany, only two and half months after the start of the War. 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. His step-mother Anna’s deep personal faith led the family into the community at the German Mission Baptist Church, where the entire family was baptized on November 6, 1955. Foreshadowing God’s ...

WELCOME TO ALBERTA!!

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 ...
