Hi Rosa!

Sarah and Amanda

Toni Lucas

Sarah was one of the vendors selling baked and handcrafted goods in the Ranchland Mall during the Countdown to Christmas and Parade of Lights.  When asked, she and Amanda chose to donate this pillow to the Angels Within Us Gala that is happening this evening, November 22, at the Pincher Creek Community Hall.  

Sarah and Amanda have family who live out of town, and they say hello to Rosa.

So do Chris and Toni.

Honey harvest time at Ewelme Colony

Ewelme Hutterite Colony occupies a pretty piece of Alberta prairie next to the Waterton river north of Glenwood.  Equidistant to it are the towns of Pincher Creek and Fort Macleod.  The village of Glenwood just down the road to the south.  I visited during the final honey harvest of the year, earlier this month.

Ewelme was established in 1927 as an offshoot of the East Cardston Hutterite Bruderhof (founded in 1918), and is home to 87 people.  "We have branched off three times already," explained Ewelme apiarist Phillip Walter, when asked about the construction and beautification efforts evident at the colony.  "Things are looking up."
