I saw Britney Spears

We spent the day in Hot Springs, Arkansas yesterday. After winding up the mountain roads the night before and boondocking at the Walmart, we toured the town. We walked a long distance to a place called, "Tiny Town" - which was a neat display of creative ingenuity. On the way there, I made eye contact with a very familiar looking petite blonde who was walking the other way with a tall, thin guy. Her sunglasses prevented me from being sure it was her, so I watched her walk away and immediately recognized a much photographed, unique rear end. It was Britney Spears! My mind didn't wrap around all this soon enough to say anything to her but I asked Gera where Britney was from. She knew it was Louisiana, so we were in a resort town practically in her back yard. Gera doubted she would just be strolling down the road in the middle of the day. However, I found a report that Britney announced this week she would be taking time off to relax. I also saw a news story about her flying to Fiji for a honeymoon but I’m convinced this was a press ploy to keep them off her back. You heard it here first!
