DAY 22

Monday, 7/21/69

Laundry and food shopping and car oil changed in a.m. Called Miriam on Long Island and said we’d be there in afternoon. Drove through New Jersey into New York. Really awed by “close apartment living,” by tremendous amount of smog and less congestion as got out to Long Island. Met Jack and Mir and girls in Smithtown at her Dad’s real estate office and warm reunion.
Had pizza dinner at her folks’ home in Ronkakoma. So many trees and so beautiful. Watched news and astronauts. Kids play so well. Girls much taller. Parked trailer and slept next to Mr. Singer’s office. Very wooded.
