Wow a flash from the past - I was born in Mineola - when I saw the headline - I just got all warm and fuzzy.  Lived there a couple of times with my grandparents (product of a dysfunctional family - what can I say).  I attended the Mineola Jr High for a year and remember the summer at the community pool.  I lived in the apartments at Jericho Turnpike and Old Country Road - does that sound right?  I remember walking to the Episcopal church - small church if I remember correct - I'm sure well over 100 years old if it is even still standing.

Anyway, I'm thinking of my grandmother (I was the oldest grandchild - so the favored and most spoiled)  She has been gone close to 30 years - so any spark that will stimulate a memory of her and those days are a good one.

I guess you just never know how you will reach and touch someone with a simple blog post.

Now Have a Blessed Day,
