I spent some time examining it, and then paused to re-comb my hair. It looked like I was getting a pimple on my chin, the first in a couple of years. When I went into the bathroom and closed the door I glanced into the mirror. I went inside and down the hall, followed by Thad. I was a swimmer and 15 years younger and he still had a better body than me.
He's been in the Navy when my sister met him and he was still in fantastic shape. He was a really good looking guy he had crisp curly blond hair and light blue eyes. My sister was 29 and Thad was 35 that year. "Damn, that sounds good." my brother-in-law Thad said, standing up. "I'll be right back." I said to the others. As always with beer, it went right through me and now my bladder was bursting. We had finished eating and were sitting around in a stupor of food and beer. It was only that summer that my dad had allowed me to start drinking in the house and I'd had a few beers. Dad had cooked hotdogs and burgers, mom had made potato salad, and there were lots of chips and snacks and cold beers. In addition to the 3 of us, my sister and her husband were also there. My parents were having a cook out one Saturday afternoon. I had a sister who was 10 years older than me she was married and lived nearby with her husband. My mother and father were both older than average, I had been an unexpected surprise. I was still living with my parents, scheduled to begin college in the fall. The summer I was 19 is still the most incredible summer of my life.
