Kristy Misener – Misener Family Harvesters
True Joy in life comes in small packages.
I had several packages today:
Dan surprised me with my HarvestHER cup filled with hot coffee and cream first thing this morning. Yum!! We took off for the crop tour. You know, a drive to all the fields we harvest near Elk City to see how they fared with all our rain and bad weather. We got three inches of rain, besides the hail and tornado.
Then, just after dinner, our good friend, Kent, came to spend several days with us. Kent and his wife, Sandy, live in North Dakota, so we usually only get to see Kent during harvest season when he is nearby. Katie and her whole family, plus Elizabeth’s two kiddos came to help us celebrate with a cookout (harvest food), a campfire and s’mores!!
Everyone took time to check their phones, though, while the kids were playing dogpile!!
