For those of you that don't know...we've been pretty busy around here. Okay, that's an understatement. We've all been SUPER busy! We had some great help this year. A thanks goes out to Phil Blahut, Mike Sigg, Matt Stanford, Willie Jarman, Mike Taylor, Mikey Taylor, Richard Palmer, Conner Kippenberger, & Carrie Zoschke. We (Rex, Betty, Keren, Rick and myself) could not have done it without you guys. We've had a great run this year and the Lord is blessed. We're just about done...Rick's telling me that he thinks we'll finish up tomorrow. I can't believe its almost over...even though it's a lot of work and a lot of craziness we all love this time (well pretty much) and its kind of a let down to see it come to an end. So...if any of you out there have questions about harvest and what we actually do...be sure to let us know. Rick would LOVE to answer any of your comments. Love, Jenn
