My three adorable children!
I accidentally gave Joelene this cute haircut. Her hair is so thick, it is quite a cute cut on her. But I think Joel wouldn't be too happy with me if I cut it this short again. :)
Joel is currently working at a company called, "We love Berries"
Some of the fields.
The most handsome man on the Job, in front of the strawberry fields.
His job usually consists of driving around this huge water truck. He wets the roads so the dirt doesn't get on the strawberries. Not only does he keep the strawberries cleaner, but the real issue are the bugs that the dirt brings with it- I never new.
A couple times a week, he also uses this truck to help mix the pesticides they apply on the strawberries. On those days he works from 7:00a.m. until about 1:00, and then goes back to work at 6:00p.m. until 10, or 11, sometimes later. Kind of a crazy schedule.
This truck is so old they don't make parts for it anymore. Joel has had to rig up the seat belt to hold the door shut. He has to sit halfway on flat cardboard boxes to sit level. There are no glass on the windows, and lately when he applies the brakes they don't un-break after, so he has to use the breaks as little as possible. :) At least he's not bored. While he drives he is able to practice learning a little Spanish everyday. There is only one person on the job who speaks English, Lucio, his boss. Joel is learning Spanish well working with all the Mexicans.
This job isn't exactly appealing to a college graduate, but you've got to start at the bottom and work your way up. We're just here for a while and then Joel's family business will set us up somewhere else. We'll see what they have in store for us, and when.
