10-24-22 SHORT HILLS: Last night was a late one for me. I watched the Yankees get swept by the Astros after the Phillies beat the Padres. I have no favs in that whole group, but, as a Mets fan, I’m always glad to see the Yanks lose. WS starts Friday.
The games were late because of the rain we had, half an inch here. Leaves are turning and falling. Judy and I trimmed the shrubs along the sidewalk that edges our yard.
Saturday we visited friends Chris and Bob in Seaside Park. A chance for us to see the ocean and beach. They treated us to a seafood feast for lunch. On the way back north we saw friend Jo-Ann in Brick.
We had dinner with Trina and Jeffrey a few nights ago and brunch with Richard and Elaine last weekend.
The beach and ocean, low tide. There were people sun bathing, walking, fishing and a couple of guys surfing. A ring-billed gull enjoying the surf. There were many boats with fishermen. We were told that stripers were running. These two boats were near the horizon. The boardwalk at Seaside Heights, re-built after Storm Sandy, in the distance. Barnegat Bay at the other end of the street. Live wave action.
