Okay, okay! Supermarket shelves! But couldn't resist the look of the Bubba burgers and huge spices!

I mean for a photograph, not to buy! 


Stopped twice for trains on our way out to dinner the other night..


I love the sound of the trains here... 


Above I took on the bridge taking us to Fire Island and the TWA flight 800 memorial..



Couple of random photographers taken out in the Hamptons...

I don't normally post food on my Blog, maps yes, but not here...

But! This! Was absolutely amazing! At the Bayside Clam & Grill, East Islip Marina Park! This was Pina Colada coconut shrimp! 

Just looking at it, I want it again right now! And will have to make it! And the fries! WoW, they were amazing, very different.. just the best!

On the road as we neared the marina we past deer, on both sides of the road, and turkeys!! Lols, yes! turkeys!

And now, my last evening of my last day here with my aunt ... We have eaten a lot today, she just said after we finished off bowls of peach ice-cream, that she'd eat no more today! And I can't keep staying if she eats so much and puts weight on! 

I'm checked on for my flight, and this time tomorrow will be in the air..

Already missing her..

More from TWA memorial...

Seeing so many family names side by side is heartbreaking..

Flags from each nation who lost souls...



They didn't stop until they found every single person from the sea.. every one..

and most of the wreckage..

You know, you can't make up for lost time... The many many years I lost when I was a young child, a teenager, well, up to 30 I guess I was...

But now, the memories we make will stick, we hope! 


So I know I lost some very important things, but I love and very much appreciate everything they do for me now, that we get to do now as a family when I visit..


It absolutely means the world to me.. yes, even walking around supermarkets! 

Even, and probably it's the best bit, just sitting and talking and being together...


Yesterday we went to the TWA memorial, which came about because of the families of the 208 people who died that day, just off the coast here.. 

The three of us felt the loss standing there, reading the memorial.. 

 TWA memorial was haunting 

What else? We've, read I've shopped, we've walked, we've eaten.. 

The Hamptons yesterday, gazing with great difficulty through high and thick shrubbery at million dollar homes... We looked at an estate agents windows... 3, 4 6 million dollar houses! 

Tbc..
