From Minnesota to Louisiana

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

10.09.13 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!

09.22.13 Weekend of beautiful weather and hard work – 8 days left till departure!

The trees have more reds, oranges and bright yellows on them now but my pictures don't seem to pick up the beauty of the colors.  The cool crisp weather is just perfect with a nice breeze making it feel great to be working outside. I got my share of outside work today when I worked… Continue reading 09.22.13 Weekend of beautiful weather and hard work – 8 days left till departure!

09.10.13 Great Saturday! 21 days left till departure!

Saturdays have always been the nicest day of the week for us but the last 3 months of Saturdays  have been anything but nice.  Finally today is our first Saturday without a Meet and Greet and only four cabins to clean and two to just strip bedding.  We got started at 8:30 this morning instead… Continue reading 09.10.13 Great Saturday! 21 days left till departure!

09.04.13 The hikers at Echo Bay Trail – 25 days left till departure!

Roy and  I are not hikers. I enjoy reading, doing puzzles, cooking and making crafts and never thought of hiking as something I would add to that list.  We tried it out today by hiking  a 1.5 mile trail that goes by Echo Bay and found we enjoyed ourselves.  We did enjoy taking break from the walking while… Continue reading 09.04.13 The hikers at Echo Bay Trail – 25 days left till departure!

About our RV, Our life at Northern Lights Resort

08.26.13 Today is the DISLIKE RV day :(

I've written many many blogs about how much we love this RV life and we love living in the RV.  I'm sure people have wondered "Don't they ever dislike it?" Well today is the day I dislike it. Everything about an RV is different than a house and especially our little tiny Splendide washer/dryer that… Continue reading 08.26.13 Today is the DISLIKE RV day :(

On the road to Minnesota, Our life at Northern Lights Resort

08.04.13 Minneapolis here come the Chauvins!

Roy and I went to Minneapolis this week.  It’s a 5 hour drive south from Kabetogama.  One of the things I noticed quickly as we got close to Minneapolis was that the road side grass and weeds in the city along the highway didn’t seem to have been cut all summer.  I thought, Goodness even… Continue reading 08.04.13 Minneapolis here come the Chauvins!
