Memory Lane, cont.

Francie, Linda and I drove down to Long Island to visit places where we used to live....



our old house in Roslyn Estates--slight changes to it but really quite the same. We were amazed that the tall oaks were still there--even taller!




To the village of Roslyn--the old clock tower and the almost equally old movie theater.

To the Creek Club in Locust Valley where we spent many a summer's day swimming and lolling around. These life guards even remembered us (well--they remembered our parents).




A visit to Mom and Dad's graves where we laid some flowers.

Then out to Southampton (instead of Point O'Woods--there were dire storm warnings that day, so we stayed on the mainland) where we were drawn to this amazing vegetable truck in front of the grocery store...




the front hood was planted with little plastic seedlings.

Of course we had to have our pictures taken in front of it.

The next day, Linda departed for upstate New York, Francie and I took the ferry over to Connecticut. Toby and Tulip were glad to see us back in Barrington.
Francie flew home to Georgia the next day.




All in all, a fine week of being together!
