Barrier Beaches of Long Island History Preservation

Merry Christmas from the Ireland Family December 24, 2025 Our home on Biarritz Street will always be close to our hearts. Lord bless and forgive the injustices done to my parents by the hardened hearts of the Civic Association. There is plenty of room in the Church.
Back from my move to Palm Bay, Florida. 5 months and 4 days. Rented a small house. Thinking Lydia and Nancy might visit. Never happened. Palm Bay was an enormous amount of work and I sold almost everything. And Nancy Parker says Lydia deserves more recognition, on every front you can imagine. Even academically. That trip was to wrap up an end to a chapter. Did not expect to see this much of my past that needed whiteout. I think I have touched all bases, now. Every aspect of my life from January 1994 through November 1, 2025 was a waste. I was blind. But now I see.
Happy Birthday, Mom! July 30, 2025
I am baking bread today. Been awhile. Thinking of you and that day at 12th Street when I had the luckiest timing of pulling the bread out of the oven just as you and Dad pulled up.
I am living in Palm Bay, Florida. Not far from Lydia and Nancy. I am so much happier being here on the East Coast. Finally opened my eyes.
Here we are unloading Lydia’s UHaul:
