For The Next Few Weeks

Mina started her summer job today. For the next three weeks or so, she will be spending her days wandering through the Central Nebraska "corn jungle" doing detasseling for seed corn companies. There are few summer jobs that pay teens so well, but those teens are expected to work hard and will come home completely exhausted and filthy!
I found the cornfield picture here.

Unknown said...: She has a great work ethic, which is good to see in a soon to be teen. She is completely exhausted, which keeps us from having to fight her to get to bed, and it has gotten her behind off the couch and away from the TV!; July 18, 2010 at 10:30 PM
