Fall has fell

On this first day of fall we motored down highway 4 in central Iowa, totally enjoying the changing fields of corn and soybeans. What beautiful colors! Bean fields ran the gamut from green to bright yellow, to rust and finally a dull brown. Corn fields showed changes vertically, as the plants dry out, there is a variety of greens to dull yellows on each stalk.

We then turned west on highway 44 heading to Guthrie Center, where we have a service appointment at Bob and Jo's RV for a list of warranty work. The scenery is awesome with rolling hills and changing foliage. We know it will get better as time goes on, but the start of the changing leaf colors is exciting.

Our list is a big one, as things have piled up. Most important is the toilet issue, as I have been manually flushing our stool for quite some time. Ugh! Jason, our tech here, has the part coming in and we will have a real, functioning toilet tomorrow!

Other big issues are replacing our blown microwave convection oven and replacing our water pump. Several little things are being addressed as well.

We still love this life, even when we seem to be under a dark cloud for periods like these past few weeks. We are so lucky to be able to move around and see and do things, almost at will...someone said last week that it is like you are on a permanent vacation. Well said, but the vacation will be much more fun with that flushing commode.
