![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I think especially my book Butterfly Eyes had its origins in those visits, since a lot of the property was meadow, and we tramped every inch of it! This area of the Poconos was beautiful, and I have wonderful memories of it-blueberry picking, red eft hunting, tractor riding, deer watching. Lake Wallenpaupack was another landmark (we swam there sometimes). We'd drive from our home in CT, across a bit of New York state, and when we reached the PA border, we'd cheer. My two sisters and I loved visiting, and spent many summers there. My paternal grandparents, German immigrants who ran a restaurant in NYC, retired to a farm in the Honesdale area (where many other German immigrants lived). While born and bred in the Nutmeg State, Sidman also has a strong affinity for northeastern Pennsylvania. Joyce Sidman was born on June 4th, 1956, in Hartford, Connecticut. ![]()
