Smiles all around after visiting Henry’s Guns.
Stephanie Hansen – J&H Harvesting
I’m not sure why I haven’t written any updates yet. I sure don’t have an excuse, we have been sitting in El Reno with more RAIN! It’s so hard sitting here watching the abundance of moisture sitting in the fields preventing us from finishing jobs. Back home (Scobey, Montana), they are SO dry and need rain! Praying they will get some soon or we might be hurting by the time harvest rolls around.
On a happier note, we have visitors from across the pond! Flemming’s parents are visiting us from Denmark for a few weeks. Having this rain delay has given him a chance to join us in some sightseeing. Both of his parents have celebrated their birthdays while here with their boys. Their father enjoyed his special day meeting his newest grandson, Jens Jesper. Lexi blessed us all with a handsome little boy! Makes things a little easier on Jesper having to miss out on harvest this year!
Their mother enjoyed her special day trying something new for the very first time! We decided to take them to Henry’s Guns and try out their rentals and shooting range. Guns are not as big in Denmark as they are here. Nor, are they as easily available. So it was fun to teach and show them how to use one! They were both grinning from ear to ear afterwards.
Today, we have the crew moving a couple of machines over to Enid, Oklahoma. Sounds like harvest is plentiful in that area! Good to hear for all of the harvesters but hard to locate a camping spot big enough for our big rig.
Jesper has sent his crew south and they safely made it to Amarillo, Texas to start their run.
Until next time, God bless!
