Scenes Cont.

100 scenes I hope pop up as my life flashes before my eyes.

Numbers 51-75.



51. Junior high dances.
52. John's Cottage. (This is my dads high school buddy whose cottage we would spend a weekend at every summer along with 30+ other people. He was in a band with a couple of other guys who were there and they would give every body an instrument, they would play their guitars and we would sing and dance all night long. These weekends are some of my fondest childhood memories.)
