Rusty and Cindy Gillette are two special people in our lives. We met them in Samoa, Rusty was teaching welding at Pesega and Cindy was helping in home economics stuff at Pesega. We traveled all over the island with them and went snorkeling alot.
They have a 2500 acre farm in Gooding, Idaho. They raise beans, seed beans, feed corn, potatoes, sugar beets, and lambs for the grand kids to show. We have wanted to go visit for over a year and finally had a great opportunity to do so the 10th and 11th of September. We were up north for Mason's birthday and just continued traveling north.
Sugar beets
Theron had a great time driving the "self-driving" "gps" tractor. He said it took a lot of skill to turn the wheel at the end of a row. We ate a sugar beet straight from the field and brought home three cans of pinto beans for food storage picked directly from the combine.
There is a real science to farming and I for one am so grateful that we have farmers. I like my food.
Theron and Rusty met with a solar company because Rusty is considering putting in a 1 megawatt solar system. As Rusty said, we are so different and yet we are such good friends. It is true; the people we have met on missions are some of the best people we know.
Just a little bit of personality analysis - Rusty talks fast and never finishes a sentence, he jumps from subject to subject and around and about his mind is just going, going, going in all directions. Cindy's favorite phrase is 'isn't that right?' I don't ever know whether it's right or not.
