Purchased in 1975, with windfall from
my parents' estate, this is what it
looked like before I sold it
in January, 1981:
My nom de plume at that time
was CLOD MONET
and I always wore a beret

is what the house looked like
thirty-two years
after I sold it

Your 1975 Impressionistic view notwithstanding,
ReplyDeletethe house on Orient Road does not look any different
when photographed again in 2013.
I must confess that I find that stunning similarity
Deletequite flattering. I had moved from Rocky Point
to Sound Beach and back to Rocky Point,
which also sold in 1981 but had been co-owned
by my sister, Judith.
Before that year ended,
I was a California resident
I am certain you have 1001 memories of your Sound Beach home.
ReplyDeleteWould you please share one of them in this space.
The house on Orient Road had three bedrooms.
DeleteIn January 1975, The master bedroom was mine
but I rented out the others to unrelated tenants
who shared the same birthday.
That birthday was MAY 18th,
the same as mine.
The three of us vowed to have
a knock-out birthday party
that year but by the time
May rolled around,
none of us were
on speaking
terms.
