November also saw the end of all of our lambs. Baby died and we took
Ashley back to live with her lamb friends on the farm. (She was bred
for wool and not for Christmas dinner...and she was a bit lonely after
Baby left. :)) Marshall gave Ashley her last feed of milk - in style,
no less...

We packed up stuff for a night away and loaded everyone in the van and put Ashely in the in trunk lined with cardboard. Eleanor gave her pats on the way "to see her lamb friends".

She settled down for the ride. I think she was a bit sad to see us go as it was a cloudy/showery morning, but we put her in a paddock with "her lamb friends" and there was a dog kennel so I know she would have found a pal and shelter. We, too, were a bit sad to see her go, but in the long runits for the best.
After dropping off Ashley we headed into Invercargill and ran our errands. We ended up at Queen's Park where we played in the fountain and playground. Not feeling like the drive back to Mossburn we stayed the night at a hotel. Which was also a big adventure. After two plays on the playground and no nap these kids were worn out!

 |
| 8:30 pm: Finally, asleep, Eleanor and Marshall had to share a bed at the hotel. They started out with a pillow down the middle. |
 |
| Edith slept on a mattress on the floor. |
 |
| 11:00 pm: See how well that pillow worked out... |
In the morning we headed home via the grocery store and Winton Open Day. It was a nice weekend together.
