Coffee at Bruce and Johanna's farm

A short note about our excursion to Bruce and Johanna’s farm in Smithfield Friday morning.  As insurance against missing Bruce’s directions there was a FABAC sign on the mailbox and a pink pool noodle wrapped around the box as well.  Bruce and Johanna over delivered on their promise of coffee and cookies and free parking.  Johanna served cookies, squares, cheese and carrot cake plus some very good coffee and we got a guided tour of the solar and geothermal installations plus a tour of their fabulous renovated historic farm house. Bruce said that they have lived there for over forty years and the renovations are still going on.  There was a very good turn out with Larry out on “parole” after he and Sandi’s fourteen day isolation after visiting family in Ontario.  As well, Greg Hiltz from Saint John driving up in his very nice Signal Red Jag XJS with his beautiful young companion Ginger.  Ginger is a beautiful and friendly two year old Golden retriever who is a striking red/mahogany colour.
