The Summer of the Four, aka summer 2009, aka the first summer we had all been together in about four or five years. Our ages ranged from fifteen to twenty-one. RuthAnn was ready to head into her last semester of college, Joanna was going to sit out for a semester to travel for the school, Philip was heading into his junior year of high school, and I was entering my first year in college.
We had many plans for the summer--weeks by ourselves, road trips to Ceder Point, driving around Wisconsin, a visit to Little Amerika, movies to see, music to listen to, eating at El Mariachi, and much, much more. Through our travels and time together a theme song emerged. You know how those things happen in life--all of a sudden it became The Theme Song without us realizing how it had happened. Every time we would get into a car and it was just us, the theme song would be played some part of the trip. The Theme Song was sent overseas at birthday and Christmas times. It was played at the reunion of not being together after a year-and-a-half. It means a lot to us.
We are almost done with another delightful weekend at Joanna's pad, and in about an hour we will be hearing The Theme Song sung by her high school show-choir. All I'm going to say is that it will be interesting. And another great The Four memory.
