For more than half my life, I have lived in Ridge Valley, a place where everyone knows their neighbours and cares about them. From 1988 to 1998, I baked breads, buns, cinnamon rolls and pies, and sold them at the Grande Prairie Farmer's Market.

    In the summer of 2000, Roy Angus Mitchell visited the bakery to purchase some cinnamon rolls and ask if his friends from Alaska could spend a few nights at the Bed and Breakfast.

Roy & Flo on their honeymoon.

Hi!! We're Roy and Flo.     To make a long story short, we will just say that we were married in June of 2001, at Pinky's Tea House. Roy is the perfect host. He is full of genuine kindness, good stories, and knowledge of the north country and its people. Twelve years as radio operator in the High Arctic, and seven summers on Forestry towers in Western Alberta gave him a wealth of Northern experience. Roy's Scottish, English, and First Nations background and Flo's Dutch, German, Mennonite heritage lend to an acceptance of and interest in people of any culture.
