Remember that shout out from the song Love Shack? Or maybe you are not as old as me ('scuse me as I try to remember my wayward youth). I only recently discovered it means getting accidentally pregnant...who knew? I loved the line "I got me a car as big as a whale" as I drove a '69 Pontiac that had been my mom's and she sold it to me for a cup of coffee. It took up two parking spaces and could out hoof anything that pulled up at a red light and smirked at me.
Hot, muggy days, house smells like wet dogs, working through these sunny days - ah, cranky nostalgic me. I want a time trip back to summers off and parties where no one just sat around and made polite conversation but instead we moved all the furniture and danced our fannies off all night long. (Note to Time Travel Machine: please include Advil for next day muscle pain and stiffness).

I did NOT know this! It is the huge song, along with YMCA, at the middle school dances Tom chaperones every year. Yes, still after all this time!
And my dad owned a Pontiac dealership. He must be turning in his grave with GM letting them go. I had a '65 Tempest convertible. And oh, did I feel cool. No seat belts in those days. :<)
I didnt know that about that song!! Ha ha Still a great song, which I have to say IS from my era.
