I needed a break

so I took at day trip to Tuscaloosa to spend time with a friend I hadn't spent time with all summer. Her little sisses and little bro were down to visit as well, so we all went on a picnic-excursion to Lake Lurleen. (To Whom It May Concern: "Durn you, Lake Lurleen, durn yoooou!") Here are a few pics:

The most attractive feet you've ever seen in the water


Why to we feel the need to memorialize ourselves? Are we afraid of being forgotten?

Yes, I have stuff to do that's due Monday that I haven't started on yet. But I will. Sometimes we just need to say "forget this" for a little while, take a breather, and then jump back in the saddle. Sheesh, otherwise, you'd fall off the saddle from exhaustion.
