The Big C Published by Roxanne on December 23, 2021 I can just imagine what image that title conjures up for you. It is, however, just another letter in the alphabet until you add some letters behind it. The possibilities would keep a Scrabble player busy for hours.           I’ll start o...

Dust It Off Published by Roxanne on December 23, 2020 The sneezing is brutal! I’m having trouble seeing what I’m doing and beginning to regret my decision to start my Christmas decorating. Each tub that gets pulled off the shelf disrupts another layer of dust. I decorate each year but evidently ...

Broken Published by Roxanne on May 25, 2020 It was a beauty! A soft blush colour with a few sweet little flowers painted on it’s side. It was also an amazing size. I found it in a great little country gift shop just outside of Drumheller and began to dream of all the wonderful things I was going t...

Sleepless Published by Roxanne on April 17, 2020 The hands of the clock indicate that one day is finished and another has started. I hear the seconds ticking by, so loudly in the dark silence. My mind is like a bizarre kaleidoscope, jumbled and swirling. If sleep is to come, I will have to create so...

The Best Gifts Published by Roxanne on April 1, 2020 “You should do a bread making video!” I burst out laughing. I’d been asked to do cooking classes and I managed to stumble through a couple of those, but a video? That was way outside of my comfort zone. It’s March 2020 and we’re in the m...

Together Is Better Published by Roxanne on December 31, 2019 We’re down to the last hours of 2019. What a decade it has been. The fact that we made it past the year 2000 is amazing. 🙂 Technology has advanced, we’re working at being healthier and taking better care of our earth. We have much t...

I Am Here Published by Roxanne on September 25, 2019 Blazing color! Gold, auburn and crimson all glowing in the afternoon sun. I pull out my camera and try to capture the glorious color. First one angle and then another. I want to save the beauty because I know the wind is coming and after an epic d...

A Mountaintop Experience Published by Roxanne on August 13, 2019 “Today, class, you will be running to the airport and back.” I was in grade 10 Phys Ed and exhausted before I even started. I was a strong farm girl, packing 5 gallon pails of water and feed for the chickens and square bales to fee...

Gather Around the Table Published by Roxanne on August 7, 2019 I can smell the onions and butter simmering and when I step into the kitchen, an amazing sight is before me. There are strands of homemade noodles hanging everywhere. They’re on the cupboard doors, over chair backs and laid out on the ...

As the cottages have closed down and I'm downsizing in the house, these beautiful pieces of Ramona Swift-Thiessen's art are for sale. I've posted prices under each photo.

Listen To the Story Published by Roxanne on May 24, 2019 We all love them. Stories that is. We read them to our children, create them in school and enjoy them on vacation. Some will write other people’s stories and some will write their own. Still others will choose to pass on stories via spoken w...
