Paradise Regained

It was the mid-70s and my boyfriend, my sister and her fiance were at my future mother-in-law's cabin at a northern lake. It had been a hot, lazy day and we'd paddled the canoe to the other side and back. After a barbecue and a few beers we all decided to go skinny dipping under the stars. What a delicious feeling to jump into that icy water after baking in the sun all day. Our soundtrack:

The next week we found out the neighbor ladies had "squealed" to his mom. They told her they were so outraged by our behavior that they "almost" had to go inside. Lol.

Me at about that time

That is a good story and song fits it.

Thanks BethD. I am hoping you and others will also share a memory and a song that goes with it. Music is such a powerful reminder.

We were all on our way to Mystic Seaport and my sister was in a cranky mood. She starts flipping her soda on everything and everyone in the car. In the background is the music chanting Copacabanna in the background. Everytime I think of that song I think of the sticky mess in the small car.

Is that Mystic as in the movie Mystic Pizza? Sound like fun. :)
