It's Sunday, October 12th and we're in North Conway, New Hampshire. We spent the day touring the city since the traffic in and out of town was bumper to bumper. For those of you not on the East Coast, Monday (Columbus Day) is a big holiday. Tomorrow we'll get out and explore the area and all its beautiful colors. We'll be here until Wednesday, so we have plenty of time to see the beautiful trees and countryside.
Thursday and Friday night we were in Niagara Falls on the Canadian side. What an experience!! You'll see by the pictures that it is a sight to see. On Friday night we got to enjoy the last weekend of fireworks over the falls. We were so close to the fireworks that we thought they we're right next to us.
Prior to Niagara Falls, we spent two nights with Dick's Uncle Don and Aunt Leta in Goshen, Indiana. We had such a great time. The first night, their daughter Donna and son-in-law Steve joined us for dinner. The next day (in the rain) we were off to see the countryside. It is quite the Amish country so as many of you know, there were plenty of quilts to see. They even go down the road behind Uncle Don's house in their horse and buggy. We drove through the campus where Dick went to school in the 50's. We were also able to take a tour of the new music/concert hall. What a change since Dick was there to go to school.
Last Sunday we stayed in Lincoln, Nebraska and had dinner with Gayle and Andy Horne's son and his family. They've owned a Great Harvest bakery since February, which keeps them very busy. We had a wonderful tour of the bakery, but they are closed Sunday and Monday so we were not able to sample their great breads - maybe next time.
All is going well. We've seen a lot of countryside, paid a lot of tolls and seen fields and fields of corn. No wonder in Nebraska the cheaper gas had corn in it. By the way, gas has been from $3.05 to $3.79. That's really helped us save some money to pay tolls!!!
Please note correction: Previous entry indicated Granddaughter as Sade - should be Sadie.
Enjoy the pictures!!!
