Good bye Long Island!!!
For the last time, yesterday, we went to Peacock residence, for the "Fig Festival", as everybody was joking around. We picked fresh figs from Billy's trees and ate them with Gorgonzola cheese and presuto. Yam! Afterwards we had dinner, Maureen's excellent side dishes and Billy's barbecued stakes. For the desert (tiramisu cake and rhubarb sauce) we went outside and gathered around a bonfire, it was perfect as the night was coming and the weather was a bit chilly. We reminisced about good old times, Kevin even sang a song from his boy scouts years, while we were roasting marshmallows. Nice company and friendly atmosphere..Excellent!!!
Unfortunately, the day came to an end and when we said our last good bye Billy had tears in his eyes...What a beautiful family!!!
He promised though, to come visit us in Bucharest along with Corina and Kevin, this coming Christmas....Maureen hates flying, so she said that she is waiting for us to come back, which I don't mind at all!!!
Today, we will meet with with our friends, we invited them over to us for a pizza and a good bye drink. Everything now is bitter-sweet...almost 20 years is not easy to leave behind...
PS: The ad-hoc party was fun, they brought a cake with a dedication "Adio...dar raman cu tine".
That's all she wrote! There is nothing else left to say...
