Tammy worked with our designers to produce a nice clean look and we developed the site so every page is updatable by Tammy. She puts in all the photos and information and changes it whenever she likes.  Without learning any code or buying any programs. Fun & easy.

P.S. My website looks awesome! I’m very pleased with it – it’s more than I expected it would be!

Sincerely,

This weekend we had a farm auction to sell all the stuff our parents had accumulated over their lifetimes. Some of you horse people may have known my Mom, E.J. (Betty) McKenzie.

Dad only made 48 years but the acreage they had acquired with their hard work provided mom with the funds she needed to buy a farm – her lifelong dream. Continue Reading »

The three-week-old foal struggled hard against the current to keep up abreast his mom and family herd that were making the perilous journey across the Red Deer River. The water was running high and icy-cold the rapids merciless battered against the tiny horse. The foal being too young and weak was unable to keep swimming against the onslaught of the white water and drifted away from his herd and down steam. Somehow he managed to climb out of the river onto dry land, but his herd was no longer in sight. The foal whinnied for his mare but could hear nothing but the roar of the river. Exhausted the young horse laid down on his rock covered island and went to sleep. Continue Reading »

Received this from a client tonite. Some of this is remarkably good advice.

Regarding the 12 NEW rules for entering Alberta:

1. Bring your own house.
