Another Late Christmas Photo but this one does not mention Christmas
Rosy: So I spoke to lindamom and she told me about part one of the move.
Yume: You better tell everyone about the Bonackers first.
Yuki: Sweet Holly do tell us!
Holly: The name traditionally refers specifically to the working class families who live in an area called Springs in the north of the Town of East Hampton, New York. Many of the original Bonac families in Springs were among the very early settlers of the town, having come from England, possibly Kent or Dorchester, Dorset, in the 17th and 18th centuries. The term Bonacker comes from Accabonac Harbor, which in turn derives its name from Montaukett/Algonquian languages term for "root place," or "place of ground nuts" (potatoes). For some three hundred years, Bonackers made their living as baymen, fishermen, and farmers. Clams and clamming—both hardshell and softshell—were at the heart of Bonac culture and cuisine. Bonac specialties include clam pie, clam fritters, oysters, clam chowder (traditionally, never made with milk, but with tomatoes), bluefish, porgies, blowfish, eel, and blue crabs.
Ivy: Sounds great.
Lily: Thank you sister Holly.
Rosy: A friend of lindamom’s in town said he would come out today with his friend and bring stuff that lindamom wanted Ian to have and then drive a load to East Hampton. Both of them make their living as fishermen. Lindamom did not figure that as fishermen they were up real early and was surprised when they called at 7:00 am to say they were a few blocks away. Lindamom called Ian and woke him up and told him “get out of bed and take a cab over”.
Ivy: He had no time to eat!
Rosy: Lindamom told them to meet her at the diner across the street that is really good and order and she would be right over. When she got there they had two friends with them who decided to come along for the ride. Out of the four of them only one of them had ever been to Manhattan. He was there thirty years ago when he took his daughter to radio city music hall. None of them had ever been to Brooklyn. His cousin was wearing dark green crocs in a lovely color and no socks and a brown sweatsuit and a cap with flames on it. He had a really long beard. Lindamom said “do you guy watch Duck Dynasty” and they said no but did laugh. The other two were younger with beards and one of them had a cell phone. Lindamom had bought her friend the leader of the group a prepaid cell phone and he did not know how to set it up.
Lily: It was lucky the younger guy had a cell phone.
Rosy: So lindamom bought them breakfast.
Ivy: She is so sweet our lindamom!
Yume: She is!
Yuki: Yes she is.
Lily: Yes!
Holly: Yes always.
Rosy: Yes she is. So the main guy had: three cups of coffee, three eggs sunnyside up, orange juice, double buttered toast and bacon. By the way lindamom said one of his teeth fell out during breakfast. Lindamom said she stared at him for a full minute and then asked him if he was okay. He said "yeah it happens all the time. They are just disintergrating."
Green Croc man had: Eggs Benedict with double breakfast sauages.
Helper Guy had: Four eggs, an English Muffin and two muffins.
Cell Phone Guy had: Belgium waffles with whipped cream and fresh strawberries, two eggs, sausages and toast, orange juice and two coffees.
Ivy: (awe struck) Wow!
Holly: Lindamom told me that Ian said they ate like Hobbits! Ian told me they kept calling each other Bonackers. Helper Guy told him that the boxes were not too heavy for him because he carried heavy fish but they wiggled.
Rosy: Lindamom had a coffee and a toasted English Muffin with marmalade. She loved how confused the waitress was by her and these four huge men. By 8:30 am they were back at the apartment and they loaded up the stuff for Ian and brought it out to Ian’s. They came back and loaded up the rest of the stuff and were done by 10:15 am! Then they drove the stuff out to East Hampton and unpacked in the temporary storage unit. They were very excited to go back to tell their friends about their adventures in Queens and Brooklyn. They were really great guys.
Yuki: When we went to the Christmas meet someone there told Lindamom that she went on flickr before going to work and that she did not have time to go on our photos because we talked for so long. Lindamom was very pleased and amused.
Ivy: Do you think we talk too much?
Holly: No.
Rosy: No
Yume: No.
Yuki: No
Lily: No.
