Kristy Misener – Misener Family Harvesters
I haven’t written for a bit because I honestly don’t know what to tell you. We are done harvesting wheat for the year, I’m afraid. The next several stops on our trek have been canceled…the farmers have called and it’s official. Poor crop conditions, due to weather-related issues and low price of wheat are the reason. Dan has been busy trying to locate work; but no luck. We are not the only harvesters in this position. Many others are experiencing the same difficulties. While I am blue over the prospect, I have faith that with God’s help, we will make it through this. We’ve never starved yet!! I’m grateful we aren’t a long way from home – it costs money to go down the road. On the positive side, I’ve had a lot more time with my grand kids. The girls and I had a lovely wet water time in the Oklahoma heat washing all the vehicles while the littlest ones played in the pool in the shade. We all had fun!
Definition of a HarvestHER - a strong woman willing to do whatever it takes to get the harvest in. She must have these qualities:
1. Be ready to go at the drop of a hat...sometimes without a lunchbox.
2. Has removed the word impossible from her vocabulary!
3. Can hold a baby, take care of a toddler and drive a tractor or combine all at the same time.
4. Must be able to cook for a crew - large or small.
5. Must be able to read minds.
6. Must be able to banter with a parts man until he realizes you DO know what you're talking about.
7. Must be the entertainment director for those rainy days.
8. Be a wife, mom, friend, helper, cook, problem solver, taxi driver or extra crew hand at all times.
9. Can handle the call that makes you react, "You need what? When?" Dropping everything you're doing to make it happen.
10. At the end of the day say, "I really do love this life".
