A sleepy suburb in upstate New York during the Summer of 1972. The following is a fond memory of a wonderful woman.

1. Coming home.
It was good to be coming home, and even though I was exhausted from driving back halfway across the country I still felt a rush at seeing the old neighborhood again after nine months away. My parents were not home, having gone on a cruise and were not scheduled to return until next week, so I was on my own.
Taking a stroll around the neighborhood, I walked slowly past a few of the local houses. Mrs. Rice's house was a particular favorite of mine, but with two cars in the driveway there was no way in the world I would risk knocking on that door just now. If she saw me go by, I was sure that she would get in contact with me soon enough.
Mrs. Rice was a hot blonde in her thirties that I had gotten to know really well before I left for college. Big tits, a lush bush and an insatiable desire for sex made her irresistable to me, since she had everything I wanted. Apparently I had something she wanted too.
I stopped in front of Bethany Bauer's house when I saw the way the yard looked. Ordinarily the place looked immaculate but for some reason the yard was unkempt, which was way out of character for the Bauer's, because Bethany's old man was a neat freak. It almost looked as if the house had been deserted for a few weeks, but there was a car in the driveway.
Bethany had been one of my first conquests and we were still on good terms, so I wandered up the driveway to see what was going on. I rang the doorbell a couple of times, and finally the door swung open.
"Kenny, how are you? Come in... come in!"
Bethany's mother Dawn greeted me and eagerly let me in. I had always had the hots for Bethany's mom, even during the time I had been screwing Bethany. Her mom was a petite blonde who always looked so neat and reserved, and many was the time when I thought about what it would be like to get her in the sack.
Mrs. Bauer still looked good, but seemed a little worn out. She wasn't quite as vibrant and glowing as she usually was, and it seemed like something was wrong. There was nothing wrong with her rather immodest outfit, which seemed out of character for her. She usually dressed like June Cleaver with nice dresses and jewelry even during the day.
Today Mrs. Bauer was wearing a tube top and shorts outfit that was made out of material that looked like a towel. There was elastic around the top of the outfit which came to her upper chest. This showcased her slender yet shapely shoulders and arms, which had always turned me on. No way to wear a bra with this outfit either, I noted with pleasure, and my cock stirred when I saw Mrs. Bauer's little titties wiggling around freely as she walked. She still had great legs too, I saw as my cock began getting interested, reminding me that I hadn't gotten laid in three days.
Bethany was still away at school, and wouldn't be home for a few more days, her mom told me. So much for the chances of a badly needed workout with dear Bethany. I asked Mrs. Bauer how come the lawn hadn't been mowed, and she started getting all choked up.
"I forgot that you've been away Kenny," Mrs Bauer said sniffling into a tissue. "Brad left me over the winter."
"You're kidding!" I said in shock, and realized right away how stupid that sounded. A woman crying while telling you her husband dumped her was not something humorous. "What happened? I thought you guys were happy and everything."
"So did I," Mrs. Bauer said. "He found some teeny bopper and shacked up with her. I filed for divorce and we're done."
I didn't know what to say so I just stood there while she started to break down.
"T...t...that's why the place looks so bad," Mrs. Bauer choked out. "Brad used to take such good care of..."
Mrs. Bauer went completely to pieces, and I found myself holding this broken little woman in my arms as she cried. I felt helpless in a way, but I was nineteen also, and as I felt Mrs. Bauer's breasts against me I also felt something else.
"Look, why don't I mow the lawn and stuff," I said after she calmed down a little. "My folks aren't home so I haven't got anything to do."
"I couldn't have you do that Kenny," Mrs. Bauer said, in a voice that sounded a lot like she wanted me to do exactly that.
"It's no problem and besides I could use the exercise," I told her.
"Well, I could pay you for your work."
"No way, I'd love to do it."
With that I headed for the garage and hauled out the mower. I figured at the very least I might score some points with Bethany when she got home. Besides, I would get to look at her mom some more in that outfit. Damn! The sexual revolution really must have arrived here in order to have Mrs. Bauer walk around braless.
2. Doing the chores.
About halfway through doing the lawn I was beginning to regret volunteering. It was incredibly hot out, and the lawn was so high that it was really slow going. I took off my shirt and did the lawn in my shorts, even though I was the kind of guy that looked better with clothes on.
It wasn't that was I unattractive or anything, it's just that I looked young. Even though I was 19, I looked 14 at best. I always got proofed at bars, and would for years to come I feared. I stood 5'7" and weighed about 120 pounds dripping wet, which I was. I was no bodybuilder to say the least, but girls seemed to like the skinny look. My longish blonde hair got a lot of attention, and girls seemed to find me attractive for some reason.
Me, I thought I looked like a twerp. I would have loved to have been the kind of guy that looked more manly. I was too short, too skinny and in general felt like puberty had passed me by, since my virtually hairless body was a constant source of embarrassment for me. Luckily for me, Mother Nature sometimes compensates in some areas, and overall I have no complaints.
