AN EMPHATIC “NO!”

We awoke this morning to another drippy day down here on Florida’s Suncoast. I am seriously thinking of giving our island a new summer nickname – Florida’s Raincoast!

Trying desperately to shake both myself and mopey Miss Pearl Bailey out of the doldrums, I began to cheerfully ask Pearl Bailey a string of upbeat questions. But her response to every question was an emphatic “NO!”

I’m thinking to myself, ‘don’t shake your head at me Pearl Bailey, I am your provider!’ – but like most contrary 5 year old’s, she paid me no mind!
