It’s just our third day in New York, but it feels like much longer than that. Today we moved into our house in Mastic, and I am looking out across the estuary as I type.
The house from the front is not all that much to look at.
From the back, however, things get a little more interesting.
As it turns out, Saturday is a good day to move if you want to pick up some random extra things, as Saturday is yard sale day. It would seem that the thing to do in summer is move out a bunch of stuff into your front yard and try and sell it. Everyone’s doing it – we found 6 sales within just a few miles without trying hard. Of course, it’s hard to find everything on your list, but we did OK. Unused yoga set, wooden picture frame, shower tidy, cutlery tray, vase and a bread maker. And a novel, “The girls guide to hunting and fishing,” which I thought sounded like essential ready for this part of the world. It’s pretty warm today, so we cooled off at the iced tea and pink lemonade stand (so very Charlie Brown!).
The local Central American food store supplied us with the makings for lunch ($1 for 30 corn tortillas – yum!), then we headed out again on our mission to explore the neighbourhood and find a few essentials. So I now have a mobile phone (shock!).
gorgeous outlook... and I think it's hilarious that you have a mobile (or should I say cell)!
