Wonderful story, Sharron. Ah sho do like travelin’ with those ladies.

I don’t think those advertisements can be removed. But I appreciate the link to that classic live version of Muddy Waters.

Yippee! Thanks! I write about these two women every once in a while. I think they may be my alter egos... I am NOTHING like them.

Ha ha ha! Right you are. I admit I love the characters I create more than the people I actually know. I find they can do ANYTHING. And more often than not surprise me with their goofy antics and sweetness. I don't write evil well... so far

How can people we make up in our minds surprise us? But they do! It’s crazy.

Thank you, Sharron! I'm thrilled that you included Jimmy Swann in your fine adventure. And with such a lively bunch of gals. You sure made him look good! He'll long remember this encounter.

Your gals are going for it, for sure, they know how to have a good time. The three of them are quite the characters!

You know New Orleans well - Tchoupitoulas St. and Tipitino's, and the Cafe Du Monde. Brings back good memories.

Can't wait for the next chapter. : )

Jimmy Swann was the hero of the day! I was surprised that he got along with the three ladies so well. A real gentleman. I think Bella has designs on him. Happy holiday!

Let the good times roll! That last bar of the evening was probably a bad idea but I loved the pick-up lines. Bella is great. I hope we'll be seeing more of her. I especially liked how you worked Jimmy Swann into the mix. You did a wonderful job of keeping him true to the character that James Ron has developed. What a great collection of personalities!

Thanks, Jim. This was one of those stories that was very slow in starting -- but I finally landed it. It was fun seeing if I could add two new characters. I doubt either will be back, but I might think of someone else. Thanks for your comments, my friend. I hope chapter 2 of the Irish story is in the works. Any progress -- or are you taking time off?

Part two is written but I'd like to have part three drafted before I publish it.

Many distractions and lack of self discipline. Oh look, a squirrel!

Thank you, Ben. I have never been to Florida, so I had a bit of research to do, and I had to work a bit to get the language right. It has been a lot of fun. I meant to write just one episode, but feedback was good, so I kept going. Thanks for reading it, my friend.
