Hi Ellen, I envy you that you can get to NJ as often as you do. Since I moved to Florida it is a major trip for me now but I enjoy every minute of the time I am there.

I enjoyed every minute of it. Graduation party in Budd Lake, cookouts in Linden and Flanders. Spent a couple of days in Toms River and got to go and walk the boardwalk in Seaside. The beach was so beautiful and clean and the boardwalk really nice. I also love clams on the half shell and sausage and peppers. I had a horrible experience many years back with food poisoning from sausage and peppers I had eaten in Pt Pleasant. Our first day down there on our vacation and both my mother and I sick as dogs. But didn't spoil my taste for them (I don't get them in Pt Pl). Happy Labor Day All
