Nippon Naughty

The last bash of summer before we had to go back to school and boredom.
A celebration was held at the river, a happening place and the place to be for a teen.
The Labor day dance was held for all to enjoy; I tagged along with my older sister to 
keep her out of trouble...She found her husband that night and I thought I would be 
a bench warmer all night. Until from out of nowhere a Japanese young man bowed 
and asked for a dance. I shyly declined...
He was stronger and grabbed my arm; so we danced a few hours across the floor. 
Who would think that dancing with a complete stranger cheek to cheek was so 
exciting to a young girl's heart.

Nice to recall those times in your young life. We have a river at my home town and the kids would gather in the summer and party. Brought back memories. God Bless Phyl
