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!!! Southern cooking Chauvin style!!
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
10.09.13 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!
10.03.13 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!
