The fourth of July from that year is one that sticks in my brain pretty insistently. I'm sure it had alot to do with the fact that everybody's was at mom's that year. My brother and sister. My other sister and her kids. Our whole crew plus mi suegro (father-in-law). I think a few friends of the family even happened by.
Days spent in the pool are happy days. I remember a Peanut Butter and ______ (fill in the blank: jam, honey, banana) assembly line. Picnic table benches soaked by bums directly out of the water. Cold lemonade.
