When coming to my house in Sea Cliff from Port Jefferson, the standard GPS directions take you off the main road a few blocks before my street, and lead you through a lovely sort of roundabout / cul-de-sac with a few small roads lined with tall trees and lots of gracious old homes and a few traffic circles connecting the lot, in Glen Cove.
The first time you came to my house, you couldn't stop talking about this hidden little magical section of Glen Cove. You told me you'd never been there before, despite being from the neighborhood, and you'd never even noticed the street. You couldn't get over it, with such grand houses, and wondered if it was part of an estate previously with the pillars at the entrance.
I just wanted to tell you that every single work day, I leave the main road to walk or drive through this beautiful section of my neighborhood, and I always think of how much you loved it at first sight. I love it, too, and am grateful for the level of grace and beauty it can introduce into my long and sometimes grueling days.
Love,
M
