1. White party tents drenched with rain, filled with food, laughter and unflinching celebration, as the spirit of those who celebrate, will not be dampened by the pouring rain.
2. Children in party clothes, bouncing up and down on a trampoline as summer raindrops splash and bounce at their happy feet.
3. Janice Ian is singing "Seventeen" on a vintage episode of Saturday Night Live from 1975, the year I was actually 17. Treasured memories come flooding back to me. For a few minutes I can smell 1975... Astro-pops, candy apples at the county fair, Emeraude cologne, Juicy Fruit gum, a bus filled with sweaty basketball players and cheerleaders, on our way home from a game. I sigh, thankful for the memories, yet also thankful for the moment in which I am living.
