About Me

My photo
Married 45 years to Jake. We rent out a half section farm and I work in town at Westlock News for Great West Newspapers for the past 21 years. Many of our family work for this newspaper where we put together 4 local weeklies.

Peter's Worksite


Here is progress on Peter's worksite--it now has steps going up both sides and I believe those are going to be living room windows on bot sides of the front there.
hmmm...Maybe I should buy one of these, lol.
I like the street it is on, fairly close to the news.
Nice trees on the street.

Janet MacDougall


Pictured here is Janet MacDougall in her early 80's
holding 4 of the small calendars she makes each year to send to Africa. Jake and I went to see her tonight and we dropped off 2 boxes of cards and pictures for her to use in her work, also a bag containing more pictures.
Dorothy, her sister, whom I know better came up from downstairs to be with Janet when we arrived. We stayed about 40-45 minutes. Janet is a retired missionary, who was in Chad, Africa for many years.
8000 calendars were sent last year; she did have some help making them.

One basket on the tree


Here is a brighter picture of one of the bottom baskets up closer.

Petunia Tree


Here is the petunia tree on a main corner in Westlock. This looks very pretty but I think the picture here is a bit dark.

Peter's building site


Jake and I went for a nice drive tonight; and I took Jake past Peter's building site; I got out and grabbed a couple of shots.
The building on the left side is the house next door.
After that we went to the News; then to Dapp Corner store where we got pop and gas, and then over the highway that connects to Highway 2, bringing us near Rochester, and then home via highway 2 and down the airport road.
It was very nice out tonight but we need rain desperately.
