Lurve List - The BBQ edition

The buzz in the moment right before a first kiss.
The dance of adjusting to fit under a shared blanket.
Kissing in the middle of the street.
Older men telling bawdy jokes, and younger ones laughing loudly in response.
Little kids playing tag, cutting through the circle of chatting adults.
Blue Moon mixed with orange juice.
Three kinds of chips to nom with four kinds of dip.
Not knowing that you too want this kiss until that moment right before it happens.
Taking too many pictures.
The first BBQ of the summer.
A crowded room, adults standing along the back wall, kids lying on the floor, reacting to 'Earthling.' (and me blushing madly the whole way through.)
Checking the water = code for sneaking a smoke.
One person after another being sent to bring the smokers back, and after delivering the message joining the group.
Seven year old boys flirting with the big girls by teasing
The fuzzy confusion that lingers long after a first kiss shared between two very good friends.
