At the risk of being boring, I have MORE PICTUES of our visit to Natalie's,

Housing in Hoboken, Great place and Franks Sinatra's home town.

Cat painting that struck me in the Antique Emporium of Asbury Park.

See, I told you.

The following pictures are more things from the Antique Emporium, Things I like but wouldn't buy because they're expensive and I have no place to put them.

I love this painting and almost did buy it, almost. Uncle Sam getting down and dirty, rolling up his sleeves to do what must be done. If only ...

This is so out of focus and a rather shitty attempt to repair it with the software from my photography program but I'll bet you still get the idea.

This ship's compass was huge, almost a foot across. The actual magnetic part floats in some fluid for mimimal resistance. I didn't even ask, "How much?"

Beautiful hand painted tray.                                                                                                                                                                     

Loved this unusual clock.                                                                                             

Big Marlins like this used to be everywhere, they are getting rarer and rarer.

The British invasion never sleeps.

It's staying alive. ( These painting were huge maybe 7 or 8 foot tall).

Baby you can drive my car.

 Pretty stuff and a half decent photo.                                                                             

 Love the black babies.

We got back to Elizabeth, N.J., where Natalie lives, just in time to wittness the Hermandad del Senor de los Milagros de Elizabeth procession. The long poles are used to lift up the overhead wires.

After a particularly difficult pass under the wires, the spectators clapped.

A band followed behind and some woman pulling up her pants.                                                                                          

 The carriers, of the huge, heavy Jesus box.

We said our goodbyes the next morning and were on the road back home.   Gene
