You may remember; the day before I mauled the front end of our TOAD we had gotten her a mascot at the clearance table in the Crackerbarrel Restaurant we boondocked behind for the night (see post "Our TOAD's got a Toad". Jan 6, 2014). We named her Toad. How creative.
Today, as just one more step in personalizing our next life we decided to not place our Valentine's Day frog in storage but rather turn her into the mascot of our coach and home, Quo. And the name we've chosen for this darling? Frog. Once more, how creative.
While Toad is a new addition to the travelling DeWalt's menagerie, Frog is not so new. In fact, one reader of this blog, Catherine Quenon, our Swiss ex-pat now Dubai-an was with us in Florida several years ago when we picked her up for a song at a CVS drugstore post Valentines Day clearance and she became Mona's every year Valentines Day gift. Yes, we pay close attention to all clearance tables, thrift stores, etc.
I don't know how long Frog will last as the centerpiece of our dashboard though. You see, there's a little red button on the top of her left rear webbed foot which, when pushed, turns her into one dancing and singing fool. And sometimes, just sometimes, Mona tires of these little electronic tributes to my love for her and they tend to disappear.
But the next time you see us in or near Quo don't hesitate to ask about Frog. She may be singing from a bin in the basement, but I'll keep her batteries fresh so you won't miss a performance!
