On Wednesday we drove out to Long Island to get a bit of nostalgia. We went to Lyons Street which was where I grew up. The houses looked larger, they have updated most of them but the the street where we played baseball and went sledding in the winter seemed smaller. The thing that struck us the most is how green and over grown or grown up all the trees and plant life is. It is just beautiful ! We went to the cemetary where my Mom and Brother were buried. We drove up to where we were sure it was and then walked around for over an hour and almost left with out finding the marker. We finally had to call the cemetary and the guy on the phone told us where to find it. We went to Joes High School and my Elementary school. We went to Farmingdale and took a tour of Joes' street, saw his house and both of his Aunts house and lots of his old friends homes. We did alot of reminicing. It was great. The next day we went to Joes' Cousin Alices' daughters house. We spent the day and watched her 2 absolutely adorable grandkids Luke and Eva better none as Lukey and Eva Beans. We had pizza for lunch and so we all decided ice cream for dinner was would be appropriate. Alices' son-in-law Marc and Joe went golfing when Marc got home from work. Joe was a happy camper, it has been along time for Joe to go without golf. Alices' daughter Chrissy and Alice and I just hung out and we had a wonderful and long day.
