Driving the Mirror Lake Highway

 
Hello my friends, a couple of weeks ago I just had the feeling that I needed to get away.
 
I'd had two surgeries in just a couple of weeks and I had done a lot of sitting and lying around.  Sitting at home all I could see was all the things that needed to be done, but that I shouldn't be doing.

GOTTA GET AWAY,
 
GOTTA, GOTTA, GOTTA,  GET AWAY, GOT TO GET AWAY!

Did I Overdo the Red, White, and Blue?

 
Walk into our home in the summertime and it's obvious
that we are patriotic.
 
But the question I sometimes ask myself is, "did I overdo the
 red, white, and blue"?
