Oscar — Lost in love with the Traveling Mabels

Veronica Kloiber — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 20:29:14 +0000

I am in love. In love with not one, not two, but three phenomenal women.

The Traveling Mabels have stolen my heart. Their harmonies, songwriting and talent all go unmatched in these parts.

The trio, Eva, Lana and Suzanne, will be playing at the Okotoks United Church September 24. http://www.aroomfullofsound.com

Me, I’ll be front and centre with stars in my eyes. Dios mio.

Naomi — Hike for Hope worthy fundraiser

Veronica Kloiber — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 20:28:15 +0000

So busy but I just couldn’t say no. The boys and I signed up for the Hike for Hope, a 5 km walk raising money for Kenyan widows and their children. http://www.cmaid.org/hikeforhope/

I’m so grateful for my wonderful life here in Montrose in High River. I can’t stand the thought of families suffering, even half a world away. Join me and my boys on September 17. Contact mailto:createcommunications@shaw.ca to participate.

Gotta go raise some money.

My favourite is Crossley’s Hockey Rink

David — Tue, 16 Aug 2011 21:35:06 +0000

I know that my vote may not count being a man but I think the Crossley Showhome at 1406 Montgomery Way was the best I have seen in a long time. Who wouldn’t want a hockey rink in their basement? … Continue reading

Naomi,

I really appreciate all that you do in the community and that you are so big a fan of Montrose. So tell me, how did you find out about this spec home being build?

New Lifestyle spec home being built sounds like a dream home

Naomi — Tue, 16 Aug 2011 21:25:27 +0000

So word on the street is that Lifestyles is building a new spec home on Montrose Terrace. A 2 story walk out that sounds like they are taking full advantage of the view of the pond. I am looking forward … Continue reading

Heading to Turner Valley this weekend

Oscar — Wed, 10 Aug 2011 13:28:12 +0000

As a man who loves music and wide open spaces I am thrilled that I am heading to Diamond Willow this Saturday to see Scott Cook at a “House Concert”. My, times have changed (for the better I may add) than the versions of house concerts I attended in my youth.

I am looking forward to hearing this guy play. Apparently he is quite the storyteller. As a fan of the banjo, I am sure this evening will be a good time. $20 bucks will get you a ticket if you want to come join a few of us High Riverites out in the prairies. Look up Diamond Willow Artisan Retreat on the web for all the details.

Working lunches work at Alta Vita

David — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 13:32:07 +0000

One of the best things about my job is having “working” lunches. Today was no exception. The “All You Can Eat” pasta bar at Alta Vita Ristorante was wonderful. I am particularly fond of the garlic butter that is home-made. … Continue reading

I know that some of you may think I am a bit off the top, but I am super excited about Co-op coming to Montrose. I will be able to walk to get my groceries. Yippeee. Feels just like I … Continue reading

I Love the Farmer’s Market

admin — Tue, 02 Aug 2011 13:36:01 +0000

Every 1st and 3rd Saturdays we are blessed to have the High River Farmer’s Market in town. Now if you’re a mom like me, you love the great variety of fresh, delicious food that they have available. I love being able to fix the best of the local products for my guys. Fruits and Veggies are just the tip of the iceberg. There are various food and craft vendors that make the Farmer’s Market not just a place to shop, but a complete experience. So many of you may ask why I love the Farmer’s Market? Here’s why:

Fresh Local Grown Produce and Meats – High River is already a great place, so getting the best food that is grown in the area makes sense for me and my family. The Farmer’s Market always pushes for the people to get to know the grower or provider. I love hearing the stories of the milk farmer who sings to his cows, the breadmaker who has a unique story for each type of bread he makes, and the candle maker who names his scents after movie stars from Canada.

I love the all of the prepared food that is available as well. The High River Farmer’s Market has done a great job of utilizing local vendors that use only local products in what they make. I appreciate those businesses that go an extra mile to make sure the food is great.

I also love the non food items that the Farmer’s Market sells. Everything from quilts, candles, pottery, organic chairs, starter plants and so much more. I know that when I go to the Farmer’s Market that I have a chance to find an item that is not available anywhere else.

Lastly I love how fun it is. With all the boy stuff I do, from soccer, basketball, hockey, football, volleyball, etc., I like having something that I can enjoy that the kids like going to as well. Many of you know that I like nothing more than being with my boys, so this is my time for the four of us to really be together. So if you get the chance please check them out, you’ll get to love it just like we do.

High River Tennis Club now in Montrose

Naomi — Sat, 30 Jul 2011 13:32:46 +0000

Hello to all the moms and dads that follow me on my blog. Between getting the boys ready for soccer practice and helping organize various events in the community, I hardly have time to post, but I must talk about the new tennis courts that opened in Montrose last month.

Wow. Is it possible that a new surface can improve one’s game? All I know is that I had a ball (no pun intended) playing on these new courts.

I am definately signing up the boys for lessons.
