Laurie's Story
Hi! I've had a busy life! After graduating from Oneonta in 1978, I moved to Florida (my parents moved there in my senior year of college), and then I taught elementary school for a total of 17 years, with some time off inbetween to raise two children in Broward County, Florida. I was divorced in 1993 and remarried in 1999. In 2005 I moved back to Long Island (Commack). It feels great to be back in NY; we moved back here because of my husband's job. My kids "hate" NY, (although my son has never really lived here); my son is in his senior year at U of Florida in Gainesville, and after graduation he' still undecided, but for now...Expand for more
he plans on going to law school. My daughter did her last 2 years of high school up here,and now she is working here. Come spring, I love getting out into the garden and growing veggies, something that was very difficult to do in FL because of the tremendous heat and sandy/limestone "dirt." I have lots of people coming up here for a stay "at the inn," as we've been calling it because we seem to have visitors every month. That has been great too! Eventually, if my kids and my husband's kids stay in FL, we'll probably be like lots of NYers and become "snowbirds." Time will tell!
I would love to hear from any of my old friends!
