Almost time for brunch

The first time I ever visited the Bear Mountain Inn was on a senior class field trip with my 1965 classmates from Morris High School in the Bronx.
We had a great day out in the sun and enjoyed the inn, what with a form of architecture none of us had ever seen before.
It was the kind of experience that sticks in your mind.
So when life brought me north, first to Westchester and later Rockland, Bear Mountain was an easy destination and the Bear Mountain Inn became a traditional stop.
Sometimes it was for a brunch around the Christmas season or, perhaps, on Easter Sunday. We made the trip on Mother’s Day and for birthdays. And we made the stop for dinner after graduations.
So, of course, we missed the inn when it closed for renovations.
We were pleased when it reopened, at least in part, but were disappointed when it had to close again for more extensive work.
Just about every delay possible has slowed the progress, but now there’s word that the inn will likely reopen in late spring.
I’ll figure that that will end up meaning early summer, but we won’t mind once we can go there again and revive a tradition and replay the memories of good times there over several decades.
