POTATO HARVEST :)
{Laex is only in Pre-School but his teacher goes by the same schedule as the school district so he is also out for two weeks! ALSO, here in Grace they have a 4-day School week!}We took a walk (1/2 mile) to the mail-box the other day and the Johnson's (our FANTASTIC neighbors) were out and Laura gave the kids an I a tour of the Potato harvesting process - we got to see the HUGE cellar PACKED with Potatoes and all of the trucks carrying LOADS of Potatoes, people picking out the bad Potatoes and dirt & the Potatoes on the belt being transferred to the cellar! --YES! I am now a Potato pro!--
Here in Grace {AKA Gem Valley} they grow "seed" Potatoes which means they grow the Potatoes that they will sell in the Spring to the other Potato farmers who then grow the Potatoes that become the Potatoes we buy in the stores :) Pretty much they're just POTATOES -- and they taste Yummy :)!
