10.30.13 God sat us in the right place!

When we chose where we sat for the parade on Monday night we didn’t know that God sat us in the right place, right next to the Aschliman family.  Roy and Nichole (the mom of the Aschliman family) talked a good bit during the parade and we enjoyed seeing their children have a great time at the parade.  Roy gave… Continue reading 10.30.13 God sat us in the right place!

10.29.13 Church, Party and Parade!!!

We’ve seen The Bridge Community Church while driving around Decatur, Indiana and decided to attend their Worship Service on Sunday morning.  It was definitely a blessing for both Roy and I.  Dave Fox is the pastor at their North Campus and his sermon was on Jesus, Son of God.  Roy and I left wishing we… Continue reading 10.29.13 Church, Party and Parade!!!

10.25.13 Update on RV work and Thanks George!!!

Just a quick posting to update on our situation here in Decatur, Indiana.  On Friday Fleetwood found a company in Michigan who can make the part we need in 3-4 days and then they will ship it to Fleetwood who will install it here.  Since today is Saturday that means we'll probably be here until… Continue reading 10.25.13 Update on RV work and Thanks George!!!

10.24.13 Decatur, Indiana – our extended stay

After all the hope and anticipation of getting to leave Decatur today, we’re still here and may be for a while.  The hose we picked up in Fort Wayne yesterday had a wrong size flange on it so it won’t fit.  They contacted the hose company and by the end of today we knew that… Continue reading 10.24.13 Decatur, Indiana – our extended stay

10.23.13 Hallelujah our time in Decatur may be over!!! Southern cooking Chauvin style!!

Hallelujah! We most probably will get to leave our spot in the Fleetwood parking lot tomorrow after 10 days here. This has been the least liked part of our RV life so far sitting in a gravel parking lot in the freezing cold with no place to go. I’m very thankful it is coming to an… Continue reading 10.23.13 Hallelujah our time in Decatur may be over!!!

10.19.13 Life in Decatur, Indiana

Last Monday we arrived at the Fleetwood Manufacturing Plant and were given the RV site #34 to park in. On Tuesday we took the fantabulous tour of the plant.  On Wednesday they called us in for our turn to be evaluated.  We did not have a scheduled appointment so we were considered a drop-in which meant our issues… Continue reading 10.19.13 Life in Decatur, Indiana

10.12.13 Amish folks, clocks and signs

Roy  and I went into the nearby city of Shipshawana yesterday in hopes of seeing some Amish.  Knowing that they do not like to be photographed I had to sneak photographs when I could.  Roy found a barber and got his hair cut while we were there but the barber wasn't Amish.  I got several pictures of Amish… Continue reading 10.12.13 Amish folks, clocks and signs

10.11.13 South Bend Chocolate Company

South Bend, Indiana is home to the University of Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the South Bend Chocolate Company.  We did not go to Notre Dame but did see the sign by the highway and some t-shirts at a rest area! The reason we went to South Bend was to tour the Chocolate Company there. We were… Continue reading 10.11.13 South Bend Chocolate Company

10.10.13 We’re in Howe, Indiana & pictures from Chicago

We are settled in a nice RV park called Grand Bend View in Howe, Indiana.  Howe is in the northern part of the state above Indianapolis.  We plan to be here until Sunday which will be the longest we've stayed anywhere since leaving Kabetogama.  Our travel plan was intended to get us out of the far north… Continue reading 10.10.13 We’re in Howe, Indiana & pictures from Chicago

10.09.13 The Chauvin’s visit Chicago!

Roy still can’t stop talking about how great the Field of Dreams was.  It was every bit as perfect as I hope the pictures showed.  I’d give Tuesday morning’s adventure an A+++++.  Tuesday afternoon’s drive to Chicago got a much lower rating!  The traffic was horrible and hasn’t improved in our travels today(Wednesday).  The streets… Continue reading 10.09.13 The Chauvin’s visit Chicago!
