The Farm

I have heard so many funny stories from Katie's experience on the farm.  She is so smart that I didn't think a job like this would amuse her, but it does.  She tells us everything that happens when she is there....how she had to do the lettuce and that involves going into the freezer when your arms are wet and makes you so cold....how the man wanted corn right at 5:57, when they close at 6 and she had to go back in and get the corn....how the bees they keep make honey naturally right there in the store....how the foreigners do not speak English and that is frustrating when you are trying to explain where to go for picking blueberries, etc......how one man was so incredibly rude to her that I would have put him in his place, had I been there :).  She talks about the owners with such care and appreciation.  It is family owned and run and they live right next to the little store.  She tells us all the details of what they are like and how they react to things.  She tells us about the stories that older people say and she laughs at them, but she doesn't always get them. She takes her job very seriously, which is a sign to me that she will be happy with whatever she does later in life....not that far away either....she is just content Katie.

She loves making money and can't wait to open a bank account today with her five hundred dollar check.  She takes her license test in two weeks.....three out of four of them claiming independence at all levels.  It is amazing because it seems like it happened in a blink of an eye.
