It's A Beach House Weekend for Us

It's going to be in the mid-80s and muggy in northern New Jersey today.
But we don't care, 'cause we are heading for the beach house, where it will be ten degrees cooler, and breezy!

My parents bought a small bungalow on Peconic Bay, on Long Island's East End,
'way back when I was in high school. They rebuilt it 3 times, the last time for their retirement home:It's the tall fellow on the left. This is the view from the dock toward the house.
Below is a water view from the dock:

Our kids love this spot; they spent a lot of time here when they were growing up.
My parents had to leave almost three years ago, and it stands empty most of the time.

Except when we use it. Like, this weekend.
We are going out with Anne, Alida and Josh.
Alida very much wants to show him one of her favorite places on Earth before they go back to California.

As for me, I want to walk through the house, and out the doors to this:

The deck, the lawn, the bulkhead, the dock . . .

I wish we got out here more often.
We are talking about selling it, which makes me sad. But, things change.
I don't like change.

The old sprawling rosebush behind That Old House has come into bloom,
so Howard got a few shots before the deer get the blossoms.




Have a lovely weekend! We are looking forward to 3 days in Paradise,
some great food, some wine tasting, some antiques shopping . . . all the best of
the North Fork of Long Island. If you've never been there, you are missing out.

The Hamptons? Pah! Nouveau riche! :-P

And at Tootsie Time, it's Fertilizer Friday!

Forgive me for not commenting over the next few days -- no internet at the beach house!

But I will take pictures -- Cass
