JUNE 2019 | INSIDE ARMONK | 03 know “Playin the and Explore” s crazy as June is with graduations, recitals and getting all my kids ready for camp, I absolutely love it. There is an aura of anticipation and excitement for all the summer adventures in store. Whether you plan on venturing abroad this summer or enjoying the beautiful beaches dotting our lovely county, I am Apleased to offer our readers many articles in this issue that touch upon the theme of “Play and Explore.” When you step out of your comfort zone, life is more enriching. I distinctly remember one of my first summer memories when I was six years old. That summer my family headed up to Monticello, a town in the Catskills to a bungalow colony. It was a hot summer and my mother was seven months pregnant with my little sister. As a young girl growing up on a two-way street in Queens, I didn’t have much freedom. My mother was always worried about the traffic and as a result I spent a lot of time in my fenced in backyard. But ahhh, in the Catskills I was free to roam the grounds of the bungalow colony. I remember picking blueberries with friends and “hunting” for tadpoles with a plastic beach bucket. It was exhilarating and definitely out of my comfort zone. What I wish for everyone is to be inspired by the articles in this issue is to get out of their comfort zone, play and explore- from Shauna Levy’s beach bopping article to Christine Pasqueralle’s piece on the beauty of Wampus Pond, there’s something in here for everyone.
