Growing up in Tenafly, NJ

I grew up in nearby Haworth. It was magical.

Heavily wooded…lived in a century-old house hon a hill with a creek at the bottom of it.

During the summer, I’d either bike through the woods to the swim club or join a friend catching and releasing tadpoles in the brook.

In Tenafly, NJ all seems to breathe freedom and peace and to make one forget the world and its sad turmoils.

That sounds nice. You must’ve had a lot of fire flies in the yard. Don’t they like wet areas?

Tons of fireflies.

R2, you said the exact same thing about Tybee Island a while back.
