Recently, on a nice day during the week, my husband suggested we take a drive for an early dinner, as we say in New Jersey "down the shore." So, long story short, we ended up in Asbury Park, an unlikely spot that has seen many hard days but is improving, on the boardwalk, at a very nice Italian restaurant called Stella Marina. And, as my life is really two-degrees of separation, not six, while eating, we saw neighbors from our street coming in to eat a later dinner. How unlikely is that? The Jersey Shore is definitely not for us during the summer, but after Labor Day or in the spring, it is worth the drive for a walk on the famous boardwalks lining the beaches, for a Sunday brunch, and sea air and breezes.
It was a lovely, enjoyable, peaceful, evening by the water, as we soaked up what may be one of the last nice days of the year, before the fall turns colder, winter comes upon us, and we begin to focus on our plans and images of the next summer to help us survive the grey, bleak, short days of winter.
