When I moved to Swift Current at the end of August, I took most all of the furniture. Then on the September long weekend Doug and I selected some furniture. The problem was that it needed to be ordered. Then there was a delay because they had run out of the fabric [...]

On December 31, 2009, it was my honour to officiate at my nephew, Stephen’s, wedding to Annamarie. The wedding took place at a local hotel in Regina. They had it decorated beautifully. As you can see by the cake, their theme was a stylized tree with red berries on the trees. [...]

Emily, Doug and I went over to my brother’s (Les & Barb) for Christmas Day supper. Leslie’s eldest son pointed out that Leslie and I were wearing matching colours. Then everyone began commenting on how much we looked alike. I don’t see it. Do you see it?? I want [...]

As you can see … Doug is pretty happy with this gift! His very own SK Roughrider jacket! Some people are really spoiled. There is no “Poor Doug” here.
I love this photo of Leah … she is ripping into a present which won’t surrender to her fingernails. Eventually she did [...]

St. Paul, Herbert – is the congregation where I travel a half hour east of Swift Current (on the Trans Canada divided highway) one day each week. I feel especially close with these folks as I have gotten to know them a bit better through visits to their homes, plus our weekly bible [...]

I have a number of photos of St. Olaf’s. In this photo you get a sense of the size of the church – it can seat about 225 people. I find the “ceiling ribs” to be one of the church’s outstanding features. In one of my classes that focused on church [...]

My Ontario friends might find this post a little humorous … but a significant landmark as you drive north from Swift Current on #4 Highway (towards Kyle & 2.5 hours latter- Saskatoon) … is a tree …… a lone tree ……. a tree all by its lonesome … THE Lone Tree.
I rather chuckled to myself [...]

Zion is the country church which is about six miles south and eight miles west of Kyle. I remember living at the country church when I was on internship in southern Ontario. There is something about country churches … atleast they seem an “oddity” for me to come over a hill and see [...]
