Oh, I haven't thought of that song in a long time. My mother had that record and she'd play it. I can imagine that if a song is playing when you meet your love, it's all the more special. Best wishes in the contest!

Comment from Rosemary Everson1
The image is so cool. If you find a place that is welcoming to you, it is called my place. A place where you are comfortable and at ease. I've been to Lake Tahoe, so I know you are correct when calling it a summer place.

The senses have a way of connecting one with the important things of like, the aromas, the sounds, the sight, all have the ability to give the feeling of Deja Vu that they spark. Beautifully written my friend, good luck, blessings Roy

Comment from GWEnos
Tahoe is one of my favorite places. My love and I went to gamble, not quite camping, but we loved the lake. On the other hand, that song is also one of my favs, along with Andy Williams, Johnny Mathis, and a host of others. Since you're familiar with Lake Tahoe, perhaps you know of Twain Harte, Sonora, and Yosemite? My love story at fifteen is in Twain Harte, on the roller rink, the lake, and horseback riding. Thanks for the memories. And sorry for rambling on.

I truly appreciate your review of A SUMMER PLACE and your comments, EW. I am not familiar with Twain Harte but spent much time in Yosemite years ago.

Kindred spirits of a kind. Yosemite, fire falls, garbage bears. Little thieves in the night, with masks.
Comment from Lloyd T. Okoko
The objective correlative of your work reminisces the emotions often evoked on the protagonist on hearing "A Summer Place."
The work highlights the ambivalent versions of the song; and how it unmistakably reminds the protagonist of his or her first love, when she was aged 22.
The work earns its texture through its effective use of flashbacks with thrilling anecdotes.
Excellent work. Bravo.
