Well, a year ago right now we were in Florida! We flew to Orlando and, largely because I have a lifetime travel membership with Renaissance|Your Lifestyle Passport, we rented a townhouse in Davenport for a week.

This travel membership gives its members the privilege of getting good deals on resorts around the world for up to 90% off Expedia and Travelocity.

We had a fabulous time, Epcot Center, Kennedy Space Center, Myakka State Park, seeing alligators, etc!

The place we stayed at was $398 for the week, for 8 people. The regular price for this was around $1000, so we got it for 60% off retail price.

This happens regularly within the travel membership. I recommend it to anyone who wishes to travel more!

In case you ever wanted to look inside a grain silo but either never had the chance to climb to the top and look in,  or wouldn’t do it if you were paid, here’s what it looks like!

Just remember to never go in while unloading! Safety first!

That blue line through the middle is 1 of 3 temp cables…we can monitor the grain temperature to ensure that it is staying in good condition.

Don’t enter a grain silo without proper safety gear and training, and never while unloading!

Just did a little service work on top of the silos… You should see the view from here!

Just had a great day at Ridgetown for #SWAC17…

Today I finished my favorite task of the year – delivering gift baskets to all our local elevator and farm customers! So in 2 days I traveled almost 500 kms. and delivered close to 60 Maple Syrup gift boxes!

It’s a wonderful thing to walk up to someone’s door, and give them something! Many of them say something like “You didn’t have to do that!” I love to reply, “No, I’m not doing it because I have to, I’m doing it because I want too!”

Love makes all the difference!

The Gift of Giving happened 2000 years ago, and we now can keep passing it on! Pointing to the Great Giver!

Giving to others,
