Putting Words to It
On Saturday night Russell and I hosted a party to celebrate our 25th anniversary. We were so nervous and excited leading up to it but also aware that things can get overwhelming. We therefore invited only family and ranch crew to a supper and then others joined us after for a dance. There are so…
Sister Time
I am sitting on an airplane flying over the rocky mountains enrtoute to Regina. I have just spent about four days with my sister Jan, they were action packed days that created moments that I hope to remember. Part of the purpose of my trip was to attend a concert that Jan invited me to. …
A Rich Weekend
It is 4:29am on Monday November 3rd. I woke up from a dream about an hour ago that has not left its grip on me. It was not a bad dream just a dream that touched on a lot of pieces of my weekend. It left me thinking. I had such a meaningful weekend. I…
The Kettles Go to the Symphony
In mid September Russ and I got on a plane in Winnipeg, less than three hours later we were in Montreal and ready for some days where we planned to spend time with friends and family and see a few sights. There are a few stories to tell from our days there. Here is the…
The Path of My Thoughts
I have been thinking about something that I am going to guess my Mom and Dad taught us when we were teenagers. It would make sense that they taught it to me and us, my siblings and I, but I don’t have a memory of them sitting down to discuss it with us. I actually…
Grace
Over a month ago I started this blog, the timing in it may seem odd as you read it. Our boy Morgan is not a boy anymore, that seems to be getting quite official in the days after his 18th birthday, sliding into his grade 12 graduation. In the midst of the storm that is…

A couple of months ago my sister Margie suggested us girls do something that on the surface seemed absolutely ridiculous. “Let’s go to Vancouver for a day,” she suggested. If we went for it on the day she proposed we could celebrate Margie and her twin sister Jan’s 55th birthday together and take in the…
Mid May, 2025 – Bar MW Post
Its now Friday May 16th and I am pretty gripped by a big feeling of thankfulness. We are on our third day with rain, it is a humongous blessing. Tomorrow our friends arrive from Halifax to spend two weeks with us, doing what we do, we enjoy them, ranching is more fun when we get…
Biscuits, Buffalo, Blessings and Beauty.
Yesterday we held the 3rd Annual Anja cattle drive. Two years ago when our Swiss friend Anja was here we decided to walk our yearling heifers to their summer pasture, that gave her the chance to experience a cattle drive. In the years prior to that we had trucked them. The animals being moved, yearling…
Glimpses of the Season
Hi! Well, its calving season at the Bar MW and things are perking along. Between the people and the cow action this is a very interesting place to be a 56 year old woman. I don’t quite know how to write about our days, where to put the focus, so here are a bunch of…
