Christmas In Branson


The Christmas shows start here tomorrow, so it's Christmas in Branson, MO. We had Christmas dinner tonight, a gift exchange and a visit from Cindy Lou Who and The Grinch. But since it is October 31, we decorated the motorhome for Halloween.

Beckwith's Farm

This is a short video done by Channel 3 on a visit to Beckwith's Farm. This farm is on the outer edges of Kent, right here in Portage County. We have gone there to get pumpkins, apples, cider and the wooden horse wall decoration that hangs in our living room.

Courtesy of "cousin??" Jean-Claude Halter, here are some traditional Alsatian dancers. Except for the hats, the guys are dressed like barbershoppers.

Towing The Bus

Here are some pictures that I took of our motorhome being towed to Craig Smith RV Center in Galion for brake work and some other repairs. The brake work is related to a recall from Workhorse chassis (GM) so hopefully that cost will be covered by Workhorse. The other items, such as some roof leaks, generator check up, etc. were jobs that I was going to have someone do, but since the bus is in this garage, we're having them done now. That way we should be in shape for the trip south later this year.

It was a long day. We had to get up this morning and get all the items that we needed to take home with us transferred to the car. Then we disconnected the water, sewer and electric lines and put the slides in. After fastening everything down inside for safe travel, we waited for the very large tow truck to arrive.

Then we followed the tow truck to the RV Center, got all the repairs authorized, had a late lunch and drove home. Of course, we then had to unload the car and sort everything out to the proper place in the house. We were tired. We did get a bit of a lift from the beautiful sunset shown in the last picture.
