RE: Monochrome Discovers Musing Monday
Ah, you lived up Island. Down island was like living in the country. Even in the '80s and 90's there were (and are) still potato fields and strawberries grown. Oh, the old days of going to Fire Island and using the wooden wagons to get out stuff to Grandma's cottage. Because of course, everything was a cottage there.
The memories. Yes.
Fire Island and Jones Beach were wonderful, and where I first encountered one of the loves of my life... waves! :D (Surfer that I am).
I didn't get there a lot as a kid, but enough to remember and enjoy. The waters of the Sound were much more placid. We lived near a "tidal pond" with current-operated gates that shut as the tide went out and maintained a water level in the pond...
Fun to learn we were "neighbors." ;)
