I remember Sadie EXTREMELY well. One night, we were intending to drive back to Long Island after our show, and the weather was just awful. The hotel was full, so Sadie, of course, had us stay overnight in her house on the property. Sigh - they don't make resorts or PEOPLE like that anymore!

Although this gives away one of the answers in my Liar-Liar post, I’ll admit that I grew up in Rotterdam!

And Bonnie’s right, A Walk on the Moon is a fabulous movie. Each lead does a fantastic job.

Have a great day!

I spent a little time there as a kid (though mostly our summers were further north in the Adirondacks). I agree that Stewart's sundaes were not to be matched. We had a Stewart's in the town where I grew up and going there for ice cream was always a great treat.

I love reading experiences that the "summer people" had in my hometown neighborhood. My first real boyfriend played piano for the Cherry Hill Hotel band and as a camper, counselor, teenager spending summers at my grandfather's colony I had the best of both worlds. Of course you know Dirty Dancing, but how about A Walk on the Moon. That's a great movie about the summer life in the Catskills.

The Catskills were never part of my childhood (we went there once -- to a Cowboy Farm where we rode horses and I discovered that I was allergic to horses -- and had nothing but pounding headaches the entire week). But my dad played drums every summer with bands in the Catskills and he has great memories of those days.
