Farm Girls

Between dad and Joe turning Gloria into a huge John Deere fan and Jenean with her crazy gardening skills, we seem to have farming fever around CVE. Today Jenean grabbed me and told me it was time to learn to drive a tractor. None of my protest had much affect "Jenean, I am a farm girl, but I don't farm!" She is a lot stronger than me, so I decided to learn.


I realize it was no 9620 Track Series Tractor (thank you Roger), but we all have to start somewhere. I can't believe how much fun it was. I had some problems jumping off the clutch, but if I am ever home for planting or harvest again, I think Chad and Jay will have to start helping pack and run the meals, because I call the tractor!


Obviously Candi is already thinking of the farming profession.


Doug and Jenean head to the field to plant corn. Doug is here on a workteam and it makes me laugh how you can't keep a true farmer out of the field. (I am also not implying Doug is a girl.) ;)

An Update On the Chicken Pox





Francisco doesn't look that bad, but considering he has chicken pox in his mouth and is refusing even popsicles, he isn't feeling well. So far none of the others have shown any signs. Yesterday when I told Franc that he had chickenpox, I interpreted the word as "Smallpox." Things could be a lot worse, huh?
