The Best Day

Sheila Kramer Tjaden

Monticello, IA

I grew up second to the youngest of 12 Kramer kids so my older siblings played 70s tunes a lot, like over and over. They were the soundtrack to my youngest years.

It was Kiss, Meatloaf, Cheap Trick, The Eagles, and Bridge Over Troubled Water.

They would play music on Saturdays while we were all cleaning. It made it fun.

One summer my older brother took my sister and I out for the whole day of adventure. First to the pool and then for ice cream. I remember singing Cecelia over and over. The easy lyrics, the dance beat. So easy to love that song. Everytime I hear it I remember our magic summer day out.

Only later did I realize the meaning.

Mom would not have approved.
