To my best friend.....
I thought that I should take a few lines and a little of my time to introduce you to my BEST FRIEND. Without this partner in life, I doubt that I would achieve a quarter of what I done to date. Truth is she makes this whole enterprise work, it is she that provides the strength to endure when circumstances seem to be mounting against us, it is she that most folks meet when our product is at a Trade Show. She, would be my wife Colleen.

My wife Colleen, is a University of Calgary Graduate in Accounting whom prefers to be at home with me and too raise and school our children. Here degree means that she could get a great job in town, as she has in the past, but she chooses to sacrafice and stay home with us, and for that I am grateful.
Colleen comes from a family of school teachers, her mother was a school teacher many years ago in Saskatchewan and taught in a one room school house, grades 1-8. A little annecdote to that, Mavis, that is Colleens mother still gets letters from some of her students from some 60 years ago, now that is cool we think. All of Colleens sisters are teachers as well. So maybe Colleen should have been a teacher instead of an Accountant.
What most folks don't know is that my wife is the better cowboy of the two of us. I hate to be the one who brings you bad news, but this fact is true. Her patience allows her to get along with horses that I will only make worse, she reads a situation with cattle quite well, she doesn't rope worth crap but she slings a heck of a Dutch Oven.
Its tough, being married to a model wife who is a model in more ways than just one. She has modeled quite often for painters (YES, with her dang clothes on! ). She has been photographed quite a few times and we have found her face in places like Time Magazine, National Geographic etc. Her image has been used in books, on covers of books, and on an Album cover. None of this surprises me, heck I knew she was purd'y along time ago. I send my wife to quite a few of the trade shows and many folks have had a chance to meet her, all in all I think it gives our little Company a good showing........a pretty gal with a great attitude. Or as one of my friends once told me, It beats the hell out of meeting you Jeremiah!

She's Mom around here, and we all know how much we count on Mom to bring us through the tough times, for 23 years she has been my consistant best friend, and she just keeps getting better looking to me. It is a pretty good chance that when you call my house you will deal with Colleen first, she fills orders, she takes the orders, and she ships the orders. For those of you whom have not met here yet, well here are a few pic's that will give you a glimpse of Colleens real character.
