Yesterday I was picking up a sign from a listing that had sold. I get my lockbox and grabbed my sign and take off to my vehicle. I lean it against the car, open the hatch and lay the seat down. I maneuver my sign in and start to close the hatch when I see something stuck to my sign. A bright green frog the size of my hand! Luckily the owner’s son was there and my screams beckoned him. He asked “Is it a snake or a frog?” before he came to help. I feel if it had been a snake, I was on my own. He kindly relocated the frog and I went on my way. Can you imagine if I had not seen the frog and took off with it? Cleanup on aisle 2… Last night I dreamed I was dating Robert Di Nero and he got arrested. I read yesterday was his birthday. I assume he got picked up after our night of celebrating. I just discovered the surefire way to get your husband to fix something for you. Start your sentence with “Can you use duct tape on things that heat up?”
This morning, we are docked at Nassau Harbour, which is the most beautiful place we have ever been docked at! There were so many huge and varied ships; it was quite glorious just to see them all there. We were going ashore early, headed for adventure once again! As we neared Atlantis on Paradise Island, the town was spectacular; it was, after all, Paradise Beach. From a distance, it was all good. We followed a tour guide to our bus and boarded a long, sleek affair. The driver was very informative, but he was no Warren. Soon, we were on our way to Paradise, across the Sidney Poitier Bridge. Yes, this is where the actor is from; you must remember “Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner.”

Every time I go to New Orleans, I make it a point to always take a late-night carriage ride through the French Quarter. In NOLA, tours and guides are plentiful, all offering up the same sort of subject with each tour guide giving their own spin on the tales. The rides last about an hour, and all day and all night, they are coming and going like crazy.
