My DH and I moved to the North Fork of Long Island in 1984,about 70 miles east of Deer Park. I still miss the NYC metro area. When I was physically able to we would go to Greenport,Sag Harbor and the Hamptons during the summer ,day trips.As much as I love Long Island one of my daughters lives in Delaware County.Her town has 241 full time residents and it is very beautiful up there.Many Long Island residents have summer homes there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woke up that night about 2 just freezing. It's alternated between that and cold clammy sweats since then although this morning seems to be better. It kind of came and went yesterday. I'd have a few hours here and there where i felt ok and then back to feeling like crap. Sorry to hear that. It is odd how people react from one shot to the other or even the same one. 3 hours ago, Luckynana said: We had the heat on this morning here in Naples. It's 42 degrees here this morning! Have a wonderful day, Graham and Pauline! That’s the problem with us sailing right now. We are missing the good weather. Actually that’s a little to cold, but I would take the 60’s. 2 hours ago, dani negreanu said: @ReneeFLL Did Mike gave you some tips for flying your own Dreamliner? 😁 No, but I did land a Navy P-3 simulator before. 🥂 OB you should ask Mike about it.

Tables are better marked than they were on the Anthem but many people cannot read a BIG "unavailable for seating" so you have to go with the flow and find your own niche. I do not like that there us no outdoor dining area as the one at the back of Anthem's WJ. Tomorrow I am going to try the Sarium Bistro Breakfast. I think people have trouble reading with masks on🤪 I noticed several people on Anthem ignoring the unable signs. That's a shame they took away the outdoor eating on Odyssey. We always enjoy ships with this option, Anthem, Serenade, Jewel, etc. Hope you are enjoying some nice warm weather!

Your step cats are beautiful. Kubota is doing very well. He is healing quickly and acting like his usual self. It will take quite awhile for the hair to grow back though. Thank you asking about him. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJSailors Posted January 24, 2022 #45395 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I’m a little late in responding to Bonnie, George and bobmacliberty as we had a busy day with grocery shopping and errands.Not as glamorous as being on a cruise, but necessary. bobmacliberty- I want to add my condolences to those of others who posted here about the Bills loss last night. We aren’t sure who we may root for in the Super Bowl. My niece called yesterday and was telling us that she is working on a Dannon commercial for Super Bowl. We may just watch to catch that commercial ! Bonnie- I loved my neighborhood. It was a great place to grow up. I left shortly after my DH and I were married. During high school and college, friends and I often attended the US Open at the West Side Tennis Club stadium before it was moved to the Tennis Center at Flushing Meadows. We also rode bikes over to that area where the World’s Fairs were held. No way would I cross Queens Boulevard now on a bike ! The North Fork is a pretty place to live with vineyards,farmland and beaches to enjoy. We have seen a good bot of change and development over the past thirty-eight years, but it has become our community that we share with numerous friends,neighbors and loved ones. Over the years, we took many trips into the City for museums,shopping, shows and walks in Central Park. Covid and,unfortunately, the atmosphere in the City has caused us to stay away. Hoping someday the City has a reversal and we will feel comfortable visiting once again. George- Kew Gardens was a very pleasant area. I had some great times spent with friends at the Salty Dog on Metropolitan Ave. Do you remember it? Also, part of Forest Park reached into Kew Gardens as well as Austin Street and Queens Blvd. Did you ever go to Knish- Knosh across from the Queens County Court House ? Wishing all the posters here a good week. Bon voyage to those on a cruise, feel better wishes to those dealing with feeling unwell and hoping those dealing with chilly temperatures a warming trend soon !

MJSailors Posted January 24, 2022 #45398 Share Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) George- My father belonged to the Grand Jurors Association and served many times at that courthouse. Usually after a case was decided, the jurors would have lunch or dinner together at the Stratton Restaurant on Queens Blvd. As a child, I loved going to the park to ride the beautiful carousel there. Many great delis in the area- loved the pickles ! Was your parents’condo located near Union Tpke in a high rise building that seemed to be located in or very near the park? This building wasn’t far from Woodhaven Blvd. Edited January 24, 2022 by MJSailors Needed to add a few sentences. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we need this- we have at least 4 sofas and chairs with blankets on them, because the cats object to the feel of leather on their delicate fur. Our cat post is more vertical, and one big boned cat has trouble with the jump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
