Brittany Van Driesten – Van Driesten Harvesting
We have been busy finishing up jobs and on the move. We finished up last week in Pratt and have moved to Syracuse, Kansas.
This is a new area to us and we moved just in time for the rains to hit us! Should be interesting cutting, I figure! I hope we don’t find too many mud holes.
Boys cooking ME breakfast! A rare treat and I enjoyed every moment…until I had to do dishes! Lol
The guys have had a little downtown time and today they headed into Garden City for a baseball game and fireworks. Mike, Wyatt and I are headed up to Tribune to enjoy some fireworks with another harvesting crew.
Wyatt has mastered the army crawl and, oh man, am I in trouble! The last couple days, I have been putting things up higher so he can’t get into them…But there is only so many cupboards and so little room for everything! What am I going to do when he learns to walk???
This harvest has brought many firsts for our son in the trailer and I am loving every one of them!
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".
