Hi...I love this website and everything Mary Jane does. Thought it was time for me to post!
I'm a "city"-fied farm girl - I've spent my whole life living on the Canadian prairies, currently living in Alberta. One hour east of the Rockies, and one hour north of Montana. A couple times each year I spend some time on my hubbie's parents farm (they're cattle producers) and the rest of my time in Lethbridge (pop. 75,000) gardening, camping, cooking, reading and sprucing up my home.
Any other Canadian farmgirls out there? I'd love to hear from you!

So good to here from some Manitoba girls! My hubbie's parents have their farm about 2 hrs north of Wpg. I love getting out of the city and into the country. The great thing about moving to Lethbridge is that it's got the best of both worlds!

Hey Alison! We're 1/2 hr east of the city on an acreage. Dh and I grew up in Wpg too.
Keep a place apart, within your heart, for little dreams to go! |

Hi Allison ~ I spent many happy days in Canada, Toronto, which is far from you, but I love Canada. Maybe someday I'll get up to where you are. Enjoy the forum. Many wonderful women here and it's always interesting.

Hi Alison, Welcome to the website. Not from Canada, but SE Wisconsin sometimes feels like it in the winter. Have fun with these forums. Looking forward to hearing from you. |
