After we had lunch, Marjory called her husband Bob and asked something like “four cool chicks are going for a ride in a convertible… if they were looking for a cotton farmer in the field picking, where would they go?” Yes, Bob knew trouble was on the way!
Cotton harvest has progressed rapidly. Pickers are still running. Dust is still blowing far too much. Once the crop is in, we need a lot of rain.
How much fun was it? If you can’t imagine, you can look at the video and you will see clearly! Love my girls more, most and best and I said it first!
