Labor Day Slugs..........by Joyce Oroz

 

 

Labor Day is nothing without a picnic. Picnics are great for getting away from work, cooking, driving and taking care of kids. With great anticipation, I prepared food, packed the food into the car and drove across two counties to be in the redwood forest with the kids.

About thirty family members came together from The Bay Area, Bakersfield, Texas and Transylvania. They all had one thing in common—their cameras. A day later we are emailing pictures to each other and commenting on pictures sent to facebook. Pictures of people eating, sitting, eating, standing and eating one last bite before we hit the road--along with kahbillions of other motorists heading home like sun-burned over-fed slugs.

And next year we will do it all again!
