Our Jobs

Nels & I own and operate a small farm.  Well to be quite honest, I think the animals own it, Nels works to pay the bills, and I work for the animals.  We used to raise cattle but we recently got rid of all the farm animals since we are attempting to retire. We do have two very large dogs - Lucille.  She is a boarder collie/heeler cross that we got as a puppy.  Little did we know she would become spoiled rotten or that she would weigh 85 lbs.  Then we acquired Ethel.  She is a black and white boarder collie.  Of course all dogs come in the house.  No farm would be complete without cats.  We have 3.  Cola is our original house cat.  Cola's kitten - Spot used to be a barn cat until last winter when his brother disappeared leaving him outside all alone. We felt sorry for him so trained him to be an inside cat. He is 10 years old so we didn't want him outside in the cold alone. Then we acquired Mr. Fancy Pants, a cute and fluffy piece of orange fur with an attitude to match his name.

Nels is a truck driver.  He mainly drives within the province with the odd trip to BC, Sask, and sometimes north west States.  He now works mainly when he wants to if we are not out fishing. This year we went out and bought a 33' holiday trailer and a van to pull it so we have been checking out the fish in the province.

 

Our Family

We have three adult Sons.  Allan Williams lives in North Carolina.  He is a registered nurse and works on the helicopter crew.  He loves it but we worry when there are hurricanes and weird weather down there.  He has two children, Alex and Nathan.

Sheldon and his wife Shelley live in Stettler, Ab.  Sheldon works for the oil company and Shelley is at home caring for their daughter Kennedy and son Brennan.

Shaun is our youngest son.  He lives in Edmonton 

Our Hobbies

I believe Nels main hobby is fixing equipment that seems to constantly break at the worst time..  That seems to take up most of his time.  Fortunately he enjoys welding and puttering with the equipment. At least now that we got rid of the animals he has more time to help neighbors with their fixing projects.

We have a huge garden that takes a lot of work.  I can or freeze all our food for the year.  Its a good thing that we have three big freezers in our house as I tend to get carried away freezing stuff.

In the winter when Nels is gone most of the time I do a lot of crafts.  I also spend more time playing on the computer mainly with photography.
