I Miss My Camera



I really miss my camera.  Going to pick it up tomorrow.

Some Fire Island pictures, here.  .Nothing great.  Did I say I miss my camera?

I have to thank two wonderful friends for introducing me to the joy of boating and taking me to a place I have never been too

A Great Place To Live

The most wonderful thing about NY is that one day you can be in the hustle and bustle of the city, enjoying museums, theaters and restaurants, go home to sleep in your own bed and wake up the next day and be on a boat to some of  the best beaches in the world.

Thanks J.S. and husband A.S. for giving us a fantastic day on the sea and at Fire Island, which our first visit.

More pictures here, on Facebook.

In My Own Backyard Part II

If you want to feel like you are on vacation, you often do not have to go more than a few miles from your home, especially if you live in NYC. You don't have to spend a lot of money either.

Today I met a couple of friends. (Their feet are in one of their pictures. Their faces are left off to protect their identities.) We started our day in the Waterview Restaurant. It is a lovely place in Port Washington. We sat on the Pier, ate a delicious lunch of poached salmon on a salad with an apple vinaigrette and watched the boats and the water. After lunch we headed up to Sands Point and walked along the beach, enjoying the wild life and the beautiful homes that we will never be able to afford.
