I am celebrating the beginning of summer with a memory.
This is me and my brother, Chris - washing our Grandpa's "Beep Beep" (VW Bug) - around 1974. Things didn't get much better than this. Except maybe for a post-"chore" snack complete with pink lemonade and Pepperidge Farm cookies. Or maybe some of those ice-cube tray orange juice treats - with toothpicks frozen in place - for our little hands to hold.
I had planned on putting this photo up for my brother's birthday - this past May.
Me: "Yeah, I was thinking of doing a blog photo tribute to you for your Big Day."
Chris: "Ugh. Man. Am I in my underwear?"
Me: "Er, uh, well . . . drats . . ." (Temporarily foiled)
He has since come around. I'm pretty sure he loved these summer afternoons as much as I did.

Such a cute picture! And your previous entry--I loved the Green Knowe books! I read that series many times when I was growing up.
Love the photo. And I love that your brother assumed he would be in his underwear in any photo you were planning to share on your blog!
hahaha...Chris in his underwear! I love it. I will have to mention this next time I see him.
