Aug 24th

We went to visit Mom again and had another great day for her.  She perked up the minute she saw us and stayed up for the whole visit. Here are some photos from that visit:

Elsie's dairy at Randall's Farm in Ludlow, MA - the best ice cream

We took the kids for ice cream in the middle of the afternoon – you cannot believe the quality of this ice cream – just an appetizer for dinner…really.  The ice cream is made right there at Elsie’s and the ingredients are as rich as you can imagine.  It is part of Randall’s Farm in Ludlow, MA.

My brother Leonard came to visit for dinner.  Clams at Alexander’s Restaurant in Ludlow, Mass. were on my wish list so we went there.  I had the “whole belly” fried clam dinner that has become a tradition part of my visits “home”.

Dinner at Alexander's Restaurant in Ludlow

We looked around for a good seafood restaurant in the area and they are actually becoming hard to find.  Alexander’s Restaurant is a small place with all booths – some large enough for 6 normal friendly people.  Here is a photo of the five of us – taken by the waitress – waiting for our seafood dinners.
