One such couple are the Janzens, proprietors of the Rosebud Country Inn. We met when I had the tea house in Three Hills and since then I have known with rare certainty that these two are in my corner.
And so it proved again last week. I had to be in Rosebud for an Ag dinner; the next day I was scheduled to attend the matinee performance on Main Stage.
When BJ heard of this, she promptly invited me to stay the night and "get caught up."
I thought I would make her a peanut butter pie - but we were out of peanut butter. Who runs out of PNB?!
So instead, here is my birthday card to a woman of great integrity, kindness, courage, humour and heart.
Psalm 23, Rosebud paraphrased version
BJ and Ken are my hosts; I shall not want.
They make me to lie down in Room 7:
they lead me to a place of tranquility
They restore my soul.
They reveal to me a path of hopefulness
for love's sake.
Yea, though I often walk through valleys and shadows,
and occasionally ponder death,
for they are with me;
Their welcome and their kindness comfort me.
They prepare a table before me with the absence of any enemies;
they anoint my body with bath salts and balance
My cup runs over
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all this livelong day;
and I will return to stay in the Rosebud Country Inn
for as long as they allow me!

What a delightful birthday ‘card’!
It was a pretty delightful little escape ...
Lovely! True friendships.
Your handwriting ...
I want to stay there!
Let me know when you can come!!
I'll work on it!
Sounds amazing!
It is. Plus they have a pie shop in the afternoons!
I wish I lived closer again!!
Lovely place, we stayed there a few years ago for our anniversary
Where is this?
It is about an hour and a half from where I live. When you come to see me, we will definitely go there! So now you HAVE to come see me!
I'm planning on it. Love you.
Hi sis Karyn you stayed in a beautiful place and and you put psalm 23 in it beautifully praise the Lord for giving a friend like you.
Maybe you and Pravin need to make another trip out here!!
Is that a good cup of coffee?
It's actually a perfectly steeped cup of cream Earl Grey. But you can choose either coffee or tea, delivered to your room half an hour before the time you choose for breakfast!
Dear Karyn, this was so much fun to read. The anticipation of the people and action down to the food. I loved this story, makes me wish I could enjoy it too. Wimbledon always seemed so far away, and I never really kept up with it. Through your eyes it is wonderful, thank you for sharing your memories.
Hugs, Karan Gleddie
