Just Have To Tell Ya!

It's always nice to see you here Janet ! This is a wonderful community of ladies who have at times more in common then we realize. In our busy lives filled with "must do's", it's always nice to take a moment to log on and see how everyone is.

I too realized returning here from being away for awhile that it felt great.

I'm glad that you're back, Janet!!! I've missed you but it's not all your fault. I haven't been on as much lately either. Last week I was soooo busy and this week I think that I'm driving the combine. I'll make a post soon and tell you what all's been going on. Just pray that I live through this season of combining......the combine is bigger, more buttons, and I'm scared to death of it.....oh, and it costs and arm and a leg, but we're leasing it!!! So if I'm AWOL you'll know where I'll be......scared stiff in a big combine!!!!!

Oh diana, you will be fine girl - you will get used to the gigger combine, it just takes time. Hang in there, and we are here thinking of you.
Look after yourself.

Well, he told me that he needs me to drive this afternoon! I know that I'll eventually get the hang of it but I'm not kidding about all the levers and buttons and a combine is HUGE! Yesterday I had driven it for a length of half the field and broke it down! Breakdowns put my husband in a bad mood. I felt better when I found out that he got it fixed but then my son-in-law drove it and it broke down again! (Sigh) That's farm life!!!

You're so lucky Diana!!! I would love to drive a combine. I would have loved to drive any of the bigger equipment....bulldozers, cranes etc.

When I worked at the factory, I did back the semi's to the loading docks...that was fun.

Come on down, Janet!!! I know where your wish can be fulfilled!!!!!!

That's pretty good if you can back a semi!!!! I don't back up ANYTHING with a trailer. They never want to back up and stay straight.

I DID it again!!! My husband asked me yesterday to drive the combine for a while to get the hang of it while he was with me so I went a round or two then he got out and decided to drive to the shop and get his tool box. Sure enough before he got back I was sitting there waiting for him because it broke on me again!!!! He wasn't real happy but joked later about me having the "magic touch". It wasn't something that I did it was something that was already having trouble and just got worse when I drove it. He's still trying to get it fixed today and he's NOT in a very good mood!!!!! Harvest time is soooo stressful!!!
