What a beautiful, sunny day to have a class in Mattituck Laurel Library!
Class did not start until 11 am which gave me time to enjoy the scenery along my drive. Passing the Northville tanks and remembering my own childhood. My Mom would load all six of her precious little children into a chevy station wagon for a ride out to see Grandma at the Beach house in Jamesport on summer days. Window wide open, wind blowing, singing most of the way until......... we would see the tanks. The mantra of "I see the TANKS, I see the TANKS!" Which ment we were almost there. I didn't stop up to see the place. I was mesmerized with all the change. Old houses, just gone. New buildings and a lot of wineries, Potatoes were really crop back then. Potatoes and peaches. Lay's potato chip factory on occasion was a pit stop, Mom knew she was bring a mob of children and a mob of cousins would be there.
As I came into Mattituck, I saw the presbyterian church where my cousin got married. I realized that this town has change a lot in the last 30 years.
I found the Library, pulled in the wrong driveway but found my way back to come in an met a wonderful group of Children's Librarians. So excited and engaged with their community and all of the children.
Reese, Grandma Barbara, Grandma Margaret, Katherine, Julitet.
I shared Little Folk’s Music with a wonderful, delightful endearing children ages 2 to 5 with the occasional older sibling. What a great day! What a wonderful memory made!
Thank you
