Atlantic City

Well here it is on tuesday and we have walked the boardwalk every day and have enjoyed it very much.

We just don't like all the trash that is all over. We got a preview of the air show today and they start

tomorrow and go for three days. We noticed that there were lots more people coming to the walk this

after noon. It was getting pretty crowded about four so we went and visited the Casino and lost alittle

I had been playing and coming out about five dollars ahead but not to night. We just played the penny

slots.

     I have added more pictures so check them out. We have found this real different place to eat and they

have good food and it is really reasonable. The whole place is papered with dollar bills. We were talking

to one of the waitress and she said that it is estimated to have around ten thousand dollars in that little

place. They are everywhere .

   Well guess I will hush for now as I am having trouble keeping my eyes open so until nest time hope all

stays well and everyone say prayers for the Hurricane Victims as they need all of our help anyway they

can get it.........

Atlantic City, New Jersey

Well we got here on Friday and yes we hit the Casinos then walked the boardwalk and we liked that very much that is if you can get passed the

trash that is all over and it seems like no one cares. 

   We had a wonderful time with Heidi in Ct. and she is the perfect host but she is leaving and going back to Mn and that is alright to as she wants to be around family. We just hope all of the kids can come to South Padre Island this year to see us. It will be between Christmas and New Year when they think they can make it if at all.

   On our way from Heidi's to here we spent a night at the Military Base,

Fort Dix and was that ever a nice place and it is one place that we would

go back to if we have a chance.

   We are staying at Park Lane and it is one of the four original buildings that is left. They have kept it up very well. We have a living room and Kitchen and one bedroom and bath. The Kitchen is small but I don't do

much cooking anyway. When we had our house in Mn. my Mom told me

we should change the kitchen into a bedroom and rent it out and at least

that way it would be used.

   Well guess I will stop my rambling and talk to you letter

 

Monday

Sunday and Ice Cream in a Cow Pasture

 Well to day is Sunday and what a day as I said before we are on a Diet must be the one see it and eat it.
 We started the day off at a wonderful little Restaurant and then we went looking for a Palm Reader that we didn't
 find and the one that we did find was closed so back home for a while then out to Dinner at the Golf Course and
 then Heidi took us over to meet a dear friend of hers and their little baby gril that is four months old and is
 she ever a living doll.
 Then we went out for Ice Cream and the first place was closed but of course Heidi knew of another place
 that was suspose to be real good and let me tell you about it.......
 First off the name is Rich's Farms and we go down this winding road and then all of a sudden there is a sign
 beside the road and real steep drive and when we got in the drive it was a fram house and I told Heidi that
 it looked like they were just having a family get-together (Big Family). When we got out ot the car we were
 met with the Sweet aroma of Barn Yard and Sugar Cane and a small Shed like With the Best Ice Cream I beleive
 I ever ate. As we sat on a rock wall (as all of the picnic tables were full) enjoying the country smell and
 the great Ice Cream the people next to us were enjoying a family chat in Greek. This is really Ct. I think
 it is great.
  Here are a Couple of pictures of the place called Rich's Farms click on photos

Here in Ct.

Here we are in Ct. with Daughter # 3 (Heidi) and we are having a wonderful time. Last night we went to see the Rockcats play baseball that is the Mn. Farm team. and they won so that was very exciting for us. Today we went and had Cheesy Pancakes at this little Diner called The Lunch Box and they were wonderful. We had been there two years ago and not much had changed. Well I should not say it that way as a lot went on for him as he had to have five bypass heart surgery. He has just reopened in the last six weeks but says he is feeling great. It is run by a man named Mike Wonderful guy and seems like a real nice family. You can click on the photos and see the wonders of the Lunch Box.

    Then we went on a train ride and a boat ride on the Ct. river and that was great as the weather was wonderful and then we had late lunch at this old Inn and it was a wonderful old restored building and then we went and had Ice Cream at this little shop and as you can tell that we are on a diet right........ Then we just walked around and shopped at some of the neatest shops. Heidi is a wonderful Hoist and we are enjoying our selves so much. We feel so blessed to be able to do this and enjoy our family and friends and the new friends that we have met along the way.......

    Well until next time everyone have a great day and stay safe

 

 

Here At Hanscom, Ma.

Here we are at Hanscom, Ma. Military Base and it is very nice and we are going to Salem tomorrow and to night we are going out to eat here on the base at the mimuteman club. When we left the Enco Lodge and went to the

base in Bangor, Me. we didn't have internet service there and we stayed five days and they were very niece. We went to Bar Harbor and that was quite the experience as there was road work on the main road or the only road going over there. Well they don't just work on part of the road they tore up the whole thing both lanes and then was working on the Sholders. The Houses along the way have little drives and some times they don't even have room for a drive so it is there yard. I have noticed that they do there flowers in barrels or boxes and not so much in yards as they don't have much there.

    Well till next time the Roaming Nordins will contiue to roam

 

Bangor,Me.

Well here I am again and we are at the Econo Lodge but tomorrow we will be in the Military Base here. We had a real good drive down today. Last night we stayed at Jackman,Me. and let me tell you there is no cell phone service in this area. We had to drive about three miles over a mountain to a lookout to get out phone to work. It is a very pretty place and driving here we followed the river and was it ever pretty. We are at a small cafe and the food was just great and the people was so friendly at Jackman. Don't think I would want to live there but was a nice place to visit and to vacation.

Wonderful time in Niagara Falls

We started exploring Niagara Falls on Tuesday the second and did we ever. We walked and road the Trolley around and that was really great as it runs all around the Park and Goat Island. We saw the falls in so many different ways and loved each time. We went through the Caves of wind and then the boat up to the falls and got wet each time. We ate at the Top of the falls and had a wonderful lunch on the deck. Yesterday we went on the canada side. We walked across the bridge and went to see the birds of the lost kingdom. then rode the People Mover up to the Skylon Tower  and had a very good lunch and dessert and we revolved around as we ate and could see for 80 miles the tower was 775 ft. tall. It was so great...

    Tommorrow we leave and cross into Canada and will travel up to Kingston and then on toward Quebec and then into Maine. Well till next time
