Fence Repair

Periodically repairs have to be done on the farm.  Thanks to our bull, we needed to do the repair on fences.  Our bull is good natured and "easy to handle"; however, he enjoys butting things.  He would turn over the mineral feeder, move an empty water trough around in the pasture and push in panels along a fence line.  So, because of his antics, it was time to repair the fence.
More steel posts were put in between the ends of the panels for added support.  My job was holding the posts until Mel could push them in the ground with the bucket of the tractor.

 My view of when he is ready to use the bucket on the tractor to drive the post in the ground.

I hold the post until he gets the bucket on the post, then I move out of the way. He then pushes the post into the ground.

That's what you call "teamwork"!

Our Trip to Branson

Mel and I took a group from church to Branson.  We had done this last year and they requested we go again this year.  Due to illness, family situations, etc.  some were not able to go.  9 of us had a wonderful time seeing shows and the sights of Branson, shopping, and having fun just being together!

We saw The Baldknobbers, Patsy Cline Remembered, The Miracle of Christmas and did a lunch cruise on the Branson Showboat.  The first half of each show was regular, then the last half was the Christmas show.  A fun time was enjoyed by all.  

They are already planning for a trip again next year and even a longer stay!
