The entire dirve up it rained on us...overcast, chilly...not a good start to the weekend. We arrived to a little drizzle, but not bad. That evening...it rained, the wind blew, and I was beginning to worry about the weather all weekend. But alas...the sun came out and what a day Saturday was. We fished inthe morning, tubed in the afternoon, and then fished some more in the evening. <br /><br />Good time was had by all.<br /><br />Sunday we packed up and decided instead of driving straight home...to detour over to Devil's tower. We took funny pictures and then made the 5 hour drive home.Free Bus(c)hhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12996878337862547717noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606796641255032774.post-25960140053537385152009-06-22T20:46:00.002-06:002009-06-22T20:50:40.989-06:00Favorite Author...My new favorite author is Laurie Notaro<br /><br />I have read a couple of her books...ok maybe all of them.<br /><br />The Idiot Girls' Action-Adventure Club<br />Autobiography of a Fat Bride<br />I Love Everybody (and other Atrocious Lies)<br />We Thought you would be Prettier<br />An Idiot Girl's Christmas<br />There's a (slight) Chance I Might Be Going to Hell<br /><br />But the latest is by far the funniest...<br /><br />An Idiot Girl and the Flaming Tantrum of Death - Reflections of Revenge, Germophobia, and Laser Hair RemovalFree Bus(c)hhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12996878337862547717noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606796641255032774.post-12682630583796197672009-06-20T09:20:00.001-06:002009-06-20T09:21:35.430-06:00FacebookSo there is a reason I have culled over 100 people as my "friends" on facebook...<br /><br />If you have been culled...you have to ask yourself...Why?!?Free Bus(c)hhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12996878337862547717noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606796641255032774.post-86922740029558270802009-06-20T07:49:00.002-06:002009-06-20T07:51:33.095-06:00FlyingI have to ask myself...<br /><br />Why am I paying for Joel to get his pilot's licence??
