When I was about 6, my mom set up a tent on top of the fresh green grass in the back yard. There would be comfy blankets in there and it was nice to feel like I was outside but really the tent kept the mosquitos out too!

I could bring something to read/look at, a juicebox, and I always had the portable cassette player running on huge C-cell Duracel batteries.

I remember listening to:

Wow! Now THAT's a cassette

Going to beach on Friday nights with all my family. Back when my parents were still together, right after my dad got home from work we would head to the beach in the evening and just hang out for the night enjoying each others company. We'd take food, snacks, drinks and sit around the bonfire and the cool night breeze was the best

When I was a kid, once a week, my aunt and I would go down to our favorite park that is right by the Hudson River. We would take snacks and sit on the grass and look at the water and we would also collect shells. I think I may still have some of the shells that we found.


I haven't gone to that park in a long time. I kind of feel like going back and checking it out

Dancing naked in the rain with jess555ja and MissMe. Such memories.

OH MY!

I don't remember that!

My best summer memories would be, when all my Aunts, Uncles and cousins would come to town, and all my cousins would stay at my house. We would camp out on the living room floor, watching scary movies, while our parents were at the dance. Those were some good times.

It was so much fun Jess, that your mind thought it would be best to block it all! A person can only take so much fun!

MoniGram said:

I'd advise camping outside instead. It's a whole lotta fun.

MoniGram said:

It could be that or maybe I was drunk

JDInteractive said:

Oh yeah? Never done that! What makes it fun?

jess555ja said:

Could be, some of the best times, are times you don't remember.

MoniGram said:

The joy is getting your pole erect.

JDInteractive said:

Is this something you do alone, or does it take more then two to help with that task?

Many hands make lightwork or so they say. Whoever they are. Make sure to always put the canvas on too to prevent leakages.

JDInteractive said:

Yes, I can see how one would always want to think of safety and protection first!

I'm listening to it right now! Most of the grey ink on the top part of the cassette was worn off.

Breaking up from school for the long summer holidays.

Another good memory...having a summer romance!

Neutron Dance is on that tape! Gosh, I'd forgotten about that song. I used to love it.

video hits!!
but i never knew they put out compliations!


it's funny how a song like "the boys of summer" can
still instantly take me back to that patch of grass
by the swimming pool and spending the afternoon with friends

emm said:

I love that song!

I loved as a child I could play outside to much later in the evening, because it was still light.

MissMe said:

Yes, how could I forget this

It was so exciting!
I remember we had to clean our classroom and polish our desks before we left.
One summer I left my lunchbox in my desk and for 8 weeks and it had egg sandwiches in.


All time grestest summer time song has got to be this though.

It always puts me in a summery mood.

MissMe said:

Oh no egg sandwhiches, that must not have been very good to come back to

And that is a good song for summer time

I just loved being able to sleep in, watching my soaps and hanging out at the pool

veronikka said:

I was young, but after all that cleaning, when we came back after the hols, our classroom STUNK!!!!

Oh I loved that song when it was released. I used to hang out at the park with all my mates, and all the guys would hang out too, drive their sports cars onto the park green, with music pumping out their stereos (just like the video), everyone was so happy, it was a really great summer feeling.
