A Belle's Sultry Summer Nights Ignite Your Passions Blog Hop Post (8/22-8/29)


SULTRY SUMMER NIGHTS: IGNITE YOUR PASSIONS BLOG HOP TOUR
(AUGUST 22-29)

When I think of Sultry Summer Nights I think of air forces bases, muscle cars, baby tees and short shorts. My summers as a teen went from the back roads of humid middle Tennessee to the cool nights of North Carolina mountains. There was always somewhere to be and a cute guy to pick from. In my youth I lived for the moment and have the scars to prove it.




My favorite summer was the summer of my senior year where days were spent cruising, swimming or shooting pool and nights at the local club. On Friday nights eighteen and up got in and the dance floor opened at 10 PM. The bar tender was super cute and a little cleavage got you a couple of mixed drinks. To his respect it was never more than a couple.


However the club was also up the street from an air force base. Note (this was before 9/11) Often times it would be too late for me to get home and back in time for work much less get any sleep. So a couple of good friends who were Airman would always let me crash in their barracks. Now as I'm older I realize they really put themselves out there for me doing that. But I also know they knew I just wanted to sleep and I wasn't the sort to cause trouble. They were good friends.


So whose up for some prizes?
