In her book, "Eat, Pray, Love," Elizabeth Gilbert talks about traveling to Italy to experience pleasure, a concept that she finds foreign. During her first few weeks in Rome, she struggles with coming to grips with what "pure pleasure" really is. Gilbert says that "pure pleasure is not my cultural paradigm," explaining that she grew up in a family of hard workers who were not given to idleness.
Libby Frazier, 5, isn't your average bowler. She's the youngest bowler to ever play a serious game at Southgate Lanes. That makes her above average. On the day this photo was taken she bowled two spares in a row and she happily maintains a game average of 19. The kindergartener is the daughter of Todd and Tonya Frazier, Bluffton.
