This week we asked readers how they spent their summer and what they looked forward to most this fall.

Well, our son is off to college. During the summer we spent most of our time in New York because it’s the most marvelous place to be in the summer, because it’s not that crowded. I’ve been a native New Yorker for 70 years and I love this city.

We’re waiting for our son to go back to school. The summers are too short and the fall comes too quickly. I’m definitely not looking forward to the cold weather.

Actually, we did Orchard Beach and visited a pool in Yonkers. So I kept cool and we had some cookouts, especially for the Fourth of July. I can wait for the cold weather, I like the warmth. I really didn’t get to do too much, to be honest, but I’m supposed to go on a cruise in November, so I’m going to get on that boat and go away.

We went out to Coney Island and spent the summer with my son and watched him grow. I’m looking forward to getting my own place so my son and I can finally have our own thing established. Saving money so I can continue to provide a better life for us.

I spent the summer at my house and played with my friends. We used to go to the park and visit the Summer Play Streets Program. We also had a barbecue at Orchard Beach. I am looking forward to going back to school at MS 45. I am looking forward to the colder weather.
