Nativity Sets

at the United church in Drayton

there were all kinds of Nativity sets last week 

some large some small

was kind of fun to see

some colourfull

some white

I like this one

I wasn't sure who all the pieces were in this set

FCC Ag Summit

went to the AG summit in London

first breakout Raymond Riel 

managing change in transition planning, he wanted to tell us a lot

but time was limited

Marc and I split up for the next breakout

I went to inspired leadership Stephany Staples

this lady had some great stories

one about a goose that changes outfits and brings joy

Jessica Holmes spoke about depression

look at her laying down on stage

It was a good day

No Power

Drayton had a planned power outage until 10

but at 10 when church started the power was still out

close to the window so they can see 

Marian Lensink gave the message

the power didn't come on until almost the end

Christmas Decorations

I liked this table decorated on the house tour

also on the tour this birch tree

and simple jars with green

I decorated our door

Christmas House Tour Drayton

Interesting outside, stone wood and siding

most kitchens were white

I liked this closet for coats

this house looked like it was build by the same builder

lots of shelves

very organized walk-in closet

nice tiled shower

another shower with a shelve and stone decorations

was fun to look for ideas

Ottawa

we went to the Crazy Horse Saloon

cooked our steak on a stone

delicious!

Next evening Baton Rouge Steakhouse & Bar

a huge plate of food, very yummy

then 6 of us went with Tony to Parliament Hill

there was construction

and rain, but I liked it

Peace tower

it was wet

but pretty

st Albert Cheese Factory

milk collected

at this place they make a lot of cheese curds

took a picture in the viewing area

was impressed how this place is run

lunch

back to the bus

Vector Tour 2

at the Tibben Farm there was a lot of work for the Vector 

28-31 batches a day

so they had a fast loading system

was dusty though

the Vector unloads at places and at other places 

detects how much feed is left in the bunk

finally we saw unloading 

there is a bit to much feed left in the Vector

not a problem for milking cows but if the next

batch is for dry cows, it's not so good

the cows came right away up to the bunk to eat

at glen Haven Farms

kids were playing 

and we got coffee in a very nice board room 

at Sildajak

our last farm
