Miss Mrs...a blog of everyday delights said...: can you guys swing by orlando and pick me up so I can see some of the amazing sights you get to see???? :); 10/22/2007 4:34 PM
Sauntering Soul said...: Much prettier than our lakes that are drying up here in Atlanta. Send water our way!! They say we're going to run out of drinking water within the next 80 days. If we really do run out, perhaps I'll move to Utah temporarily...; 10/22/2007 6:41 PM

The Daily Rant said...: Geggie...Feel free to make a print, write "Wish You Were Here" on the back, and send it off!!

Some Pink...I love that you're a travel slut - they're the best kind!

Sognatrice...I NEVER get sick of your comments. In fact, bring MORE of your friends over!

Miss Mrs...Orlando? Sure! We have EVERYTHING you will need in the truck - just pack a toothbrush and a change of clothes!

Sauntering Soul...Yeah, I heard about that Atlanta water thing...but don't go to Utah..it's ummm...."high" desert.

Maryann...Posts? Buoys? I'm not sure exactly what they were - I didn't get out - I took the picture from the truck. (Like most of my pictures!)

HotDudi...I love seeing the sights. It's an amazing lifestyle. I wish I discovered it when I was 20!

HDJ...So good to see you! Yes, it's real. Can you believe the mirrorlike serenity of it? It's sort of Namaste-ish, dontcha think?; 10/24/2007 2:06 AM
