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!

10.24.13 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.

I’m very thankful it is coming to an… Continue reading 10.23.13 Hallelujah our time in Decatur may be over!!! Southern cooking Chauvin style!!

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
