Their farm is mainly dairy cows but they also grow potatoes. It is very large, 45 hectares, and they have one couple who live on the property who milk the cows, plus they have farm help who come in on the weekends.
Their farm house was very rustic. We had paella for lunch. Frank, who is from Spain, was the cook and it was very good. In the afternoon it started to rain and they made a fire in the fireplace. The sound of the rain on the roof, the heat from the fire and smell from burning wood forced some to have a siesta, ha ha. We got back to our apt around 5 p.m. and rested a bit before we headed out to our meeting which is on Saturdays at 7:15.

Wow...sounds like you had a fabulous day! That IS a huge farm! The food looks yummy!
We just had our 2-day assembly.! Fabulous spiritual feast! Bro. Busby is such a wonderful speaker (our D.O.) There was only ONE baptised yesterday! The poor young sister looked like she felt a little conspicuous being the only one...but everyone was thrilled just the same. Attendance averaged around 870.
Mom was able to muster up the energy to attend today. She is exhausted tonight but happy she went! We had a RAINY day today. Been raining since wee hrs. of the a.m. Our temps are on the rise, supposed to be between 11 and 14 all this week...down to 0 or +2 at night. Maple syrup season!
Love you much
John, June & Jean
