Preparing to RV Fulltime

10.14.13 Fleetwood Factory and Service in Decatur, Indiana

We left Grand View Bend Resort this morning and guess who drove Dora from our parking space to the end of the road where the resort ends - me!!!!!!!!!!!! It was my first time in the drivers seat and while I didn't have to do anything fancy it was my first step towards learning how… Continue reading 10.14.13 Fleetwood Factory and Service 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!

10.08.13 Field of Dreams, Dyersville, Iowa

We made it to Lake Shore Resort in Oelwein, Iowa after feeling like we were going around in circles because of all the detours we had to take.  Our GPS didn't know about the detours so I had to get out twice and flag down a truck to get directions.  Sure glad that Iowans are nice folks. … Continue reading 10.08.13 Field of Dreams, Dyersville, Iowa

10.07.13 Winnebago Factory Tour – Forest City, Iowa

On Sunday we attended Worship Services at First Baptist Church in Forest City, Iowa.  Very friendly people  and what a blessing to be back in a Baptist church. Their Senior Pastor Eric Weaver preached a phenomenal sermon from Malachi.  He taught while he preached and it made everything much easer to understand.  I don't know how… Continue reading 10.07.13 Winnebago Factory Tour – Forest City, Iowa

10.05.13 Forest City and Mason City, Iowa

Our first Saturday off in months!  I can love Saturdays again!!! We're giving our son power-of-attorney to represent us at the act of sale for our rental property on Brenda Drive.  We needed to get the power of attorney notarized so I did a google search and found the nearest notary was a few miles way… Continue reading 10.05.13 Forest City and Mason City, Iowa

10.04.13 Bye, bye Minnesota – Iowa here we come!

Today we said goodbye to Minnesota.  Since we’ve spent so much time there this summer we probably won’t return anytime soon.  It is such a beautiful state and we are very thankful to have been able to spend time there.  Here’s pictures of our comfy little home spot in the Camping World’s parking lot.  It’s… Continue reading 10.04.13 Bye, bye Minnesota – Iowa here we come!

10.03.13 On the road again and not really going anywhere!

Since I wrote my last blog I’ve received emails and private facebook messages from people who workamped and had horrible experiences that they left and went to really good experiences.  Seems that the bad experiences are not nearly as prevalent as the good ones and that encourages us for the future.   I wrote about Russ and Annie leaving… Continue reading 10.03.13 On the road again and not really going anywhere!
