Branson, MO, Harrisonburg, VA, Georgetown, TX

 What a whirlwind!   We made our way through Illinois to Missouri and stopped in Branson.  The City of Branson RV Park was very convenient to downtown.   We were in Branson a year ago and did not appreciate the hills.  But when you are pulling a 15,000lb 5th Wheel the hills become magnified and dangerous.  We were extra carful!  Just dont get stuck at a red light near the top of a hill with a 10% grade when it is wet!

In Branson, we saw three shows.  Dublin's Irish Tenors and the Celtic Ladies, Deanz The Ultimate Elvis show was as close to the actual Elvis we have ever seen. He was awesome!  The Sight and Sound Presentation of the Life of Jesus. Sights and Sounds was vey well done celebrating the life of Christ, His Redemption and an invitation at the end for folks to receive Him into their lives.  The colors were quite vivid and just starting to peak!

After the shows in Branson, we stored the 5th Wheel, drove to Springfield, MO to catch a flight to Charlottesville, VA to see a weekend of marching bands, featuring our grandaughter Layla Seefried in the Harrisonburg High School Marching Band and grandson Jacob Seefried in the Marching Royal Dukes Marching Band of James Madison University.  Both are in the drum line!  A great weekend, then back to MO to take the 5th Wheel to Texas where we rest in November and December. What a great joy and excitement to see them both performing in their bands. Both schools won their football games too!

 An added bonus, John's cousin, Doug Moos, lives in Springfield, MO so we had a chance to catch up after many years!

Back in Texas Nov 4 for 2 months.  A Chili Cookoff with our Primetime Class at Hill Country Bible Church.  John is teaching the book of 1 John at the PrimeTime Class in November and getting to spend time with grand kids, Lily and John!   Doesn't get any better!  Did someone say rest?

      Rest yes, but the work never ends. Repairs, re-sorting stuff, going through our storage, teaching Sundays, time with g/kids, doctor appointments, etc etc.

      It is good not to be hooking and unhooking so much. Plan to be in the Austin area through end February....I think.

Summer Travel!

 Welcome to the Summer 2023 Edition of Weber's Chosen Odyssey! After returning from our May trip east (www.weberschosenodyssey@blogspot.com), we have loved our new setup with a full-sized SUV and a 26' Rockwood Mini-Lite with a Murphy bed and huge ourdoor kitchen!  This edition features four adventures from late June through mid August.  We were exhausted, but blessed, and did not look forward to returning to the Texas heat! 1. Inks Lake State Park, Burnet, Texas.  June 7-9.   This is a delightful state park about an hour NW of the Austin metroplex.   Great water and fun with our friends Dave and Donna Sommers and our son John and his girlfriend Kayce Rae Bryant. We love the water! Inks features a small cliff behind us.  Kids love to jump off!

On The Road Again 2.0

Image
Greetings Folks, It is now May 16, 2023....nearly 5 months since our last post.   We are on the road and so much has happened since last December.   This will not be a heavily detailed or long blog, but rather focusing on two big resets in our lives.  "Our vehicles" and "People and Places".  Many have prayed with us during this time,   The Lord has clearly shown us the pathway for now. Our Vehicles The Lord provided the perfect combination for our next phase.   The 25ft Rockwood Mini Lite travel trailer is highly functional, high quality and more than meets our needs while on the road, not to mention much easier to handle.  The vehicle will serve us well for as long as we spend 4-8 weeks at a time on the road.   There are many details and stories behind this "Vehicle Reset" but please know that we see how the Lord is always providing for us.    The eyes of the Lord roam to and fro through the whole earth  looking for ways to show Himself strong to those wh
