Snakes or Lizards?

As I was sitting outside drinking a glass of wine from one of the beautiful glasses my friend Gisela gave me I received an email from her:

Hi Cynthia!

The dinning room is looking good!! I love that color, it will look great for the party....

Here's a little friend I encountered at my parents' terrace thisafternoon. I was sitting at the dinning room table working and saw himwalk by....I got close to take the picture and I was doing fine, I'vealways liked lizards, well, anything green (except too many vegetables,but you know what I mean). I got in trouble once it started moving torun away, he turned left and was aiming for the dinning room!!!! And, Iam alone here today--my mom is in Miami and my dad is fishing in St.Thomas. So I did what I could to lead him to the backyard, thankfullyhe didn't get inside but it freaked me out! I could hear the subtlenoise of his body sliding across the tile so that and the movementswere enough to make me scream a little, although I was enough incontrol to grab my cell phone and take a picture. My mom hates them! Heis cute, but I think I got too close. But still, I'd rather find a lizardthan a snake........thinking of you always, love, gisela.

hmmmmm....even though his tail creeps me out a bit I STILL think I'd rather see him in my house than a snake....
