Stanley Visits the Farm


My, My, My...
For Farmers, does it get any better than this?? Not around here, lol
Yep, the Real McStanley, in shiny person, complete with guard, right here at home with our newest aquisition, the John Deere Combine my in-laws bought. My nephew who works for Hockey Canada, arranged for the cup to visit the East Garafraxa Township garage for a photo op with the latest equipment purchase and personnel, a Volvo grader they got last fall. En route, they arranged for some school visits, and began the day at our farm, in a teeming April Shower. We all got soaked, have colds (and could care less) and loved every drippy second of the whole thing!
Sorry about your shoes, Phil, but farms will be farms, especially in a Canadian Spring. Our son called in to work and let them know he'd be late as the Stanley Cup was coming to our place- of course, they laughed at him and hung up. But, he had the pictures to take with him for proof, so now he's a minor Idol at the office.
A few clicks at the insta print machine at Wal-Mart, and we were instantly famous. Or for some locals feeling left out, "infamous". Sorry guys, me bad. Some things are just family-only.
