I am so blessed . on June 26th I will be going on my 38th cruise this time to Bermuda been there many times and in sept. I will do a land tour for 2 weeks in Hawaii. that will be my 12th visit to the aloha state. signing off; am going to a volunteer luncheon at Mount Arie lodge. do much volunteering and it keeps this 70 year old young.
None of us can hide our age God bless everyone barby,

From Brenda Sichenzia:
If the Long Islanders get together, put it in the Blog. I live in Pennsylvania, but I am very close to the New York border and it only takes about 2 hours to get to Lake Ronkonkoma. I have made several trips to visit friends from High School. At the last reunion, there was talk of another in 2012. Is that still in the works?

Hi Ben,
Sorry to hear that your flight to Las Vegas was such a nightmare. It seems that the airlines are more and more out of touch with the needs of customers. The Southwest crew, however, has to be given credit for relaxing people with their sense of humor.
You may remember a conversation we had about cameras at the class reunion. My husband ended up getting the Nikon 3100 and Costco had the best price. So far, we think it's great. Thanks for your suggestions.
Florida weather has been great this season. No tornadoes or floods. We have two pools at the condo and we use them regularly. When I was in the Poconos last year, I learned to play Mah-Jongg and now I am teaching some people here. I started out with three people and now I have nine. Two people have vowed to get their own sets for next season. Did you know that men in China play Mah-Jongg for very high stakes? The other thing I do for fun is my music. In high school I was voted most musical in my class and I still love to get together with anyone who plays anything and jam.
Your article in the PATCH brought back memories of Patchogue. Anyone who lived in the Holtsville, Farmingville or Selden area knew about taking the bus to Patchogue. I used to meet my friend on the bus and for a quarter I could go into town. After an afternoon of shopping, it was possible to buy a slice of pizza for 15 cents!

I read your artical... got me hungry:)I like Burger King too.
" Hey guys" it's getting warmer and those of you that still live on long Island should really get together at some restaurant/ night club, just to chat. Any Ideas? "
Maybe we can meet at a cool place at or near Lake Ronkonkoma ?
Kind regards to all.

ReplyDeleteI checked out some areas by the lake a couple of weeks ago, the east side. Picnic tables at some locations. A lady I spoke to suggested Raynor Beach for a get together ? Next week I will check it out.
Ya know the Original Farmingville Diner from the 1950's is still there ! Wonder if the record selection flip page boxes are working :) Have to check the place out next week also. Charlie Galasano use to work there... What wonderful memories.
