And a British Accent was Assumed the Entire Week ...

... in consequence of being jolly-well beside myself for utter happiness!

I tell you the truth, and I have arrived at the conclusion that, if Sophias could fly, you would ne'er have seen this one on the ground, beginning Monday and concluding on Sat. - at which point, the confines of the F.P.V*  kept her on solid ole terra firma (for 17 hrs., at least). =}
*Fifteen Passenger Van

Why so much felicity?
Well, dear reader, there are many reasons.
 (I say 'reasons', for there are several =)

Let's commence at the start, shall we?
 - I had been praying about the Big Sandy expotition*, since Feb.
(I was informed that I was going 1 week and 3 days before said expot. would be taking place)

{if you'll recall, Anslers came to visit in Februar =}
*I suggest that you brush up on your children's classic literature =)

- I had the delight  of traveling with many winsome fellow expotition-ers!

- 16 hrs. with Back-seat Traveling Chum, Sandra!

- Satiating wanderlust ;]

- Undergoing precious cultural experiences with said companions =]

- Catching up a bit on the vital shut eye, eh wot! =)

- Partaking of southern hospitality
{the dear Sandie-dook =}

- Terrorizing  Enjoying the innumerable charming frogs, which inhabited the pond *shing*

- Seeing Grace!

- Being 'suns' with Olive, Whit, Amy, and 'Manda ... lol ;)

- Surprise-getting-to-see Anna!

- And surprise-getting-to-see Anna's Mum!

- Being Team B, so that our station could be decorated with,
British tea
Baby nephew

and Berba grozda* items

*it's Croatian for vintage 


- At least 9 Additional Excellent Excuses to smile each day from 8 to 5 ;)

- Having 'roads' made on my back* and being teased about my liking for broccoli, by suspects #1 and #2, respectively ;)

*a formerly unheard-of variation on a back massage...glorious =)

- Discovering each of the uniquely dear melodies within my 9 music boxes <3

- Beholding The Great {Grinning} Pyramid

- Blessedly cheered every day by my darling Prexcel* girls =D

*if one omits the second 'e' in Pre-Excel, one is left with 'Prexcel'  ;)

- Skittles ... what more is there to say? =] 

- Laughing helplessly

- Meeting The Illustrious Sophlivia, Dancing Chi, and Wemmick Punchinella-ette, L-R respectively 

- Chumming away the evenings with recent JTTH, well ... chums =]

- Seeing the DLC*

*Dear Little Couple

- Blissfully happy being with the Jenna-ly, Sarah-ly, and Em'ly =)

- Being reunited with a dearheart of an Em'ly! <3

- One consolation of saying FTW* to the week ... basking in God's sunset creativity <3

*Fare Thee Well

- Cracker Barrel respite at 12:30 a.m.* 

*much to my not-happiness, CB does not serve oatmeal at that hour of the morning ... ploh

 British accent was entirely justified, according to a most reliable book entitled, A Guide to Sophias. ;}

*sigh* I suppose it is for the best that I did not go about breaking the Law of Gravity, with my jolly flying...because, now, I would not only have Oswald on my case (for posting too long!), but I would also be a fugitive on the  LoG bobby's list. =O

God blessed exceedingly beyond my diminutive mortal thought capacity. <3

Thanks awfully for stopping by to read my ramblings. =}

The child-nephew comes for a visit this week end, and I shall, yet again, be in danger of breaking the LoG. 

*shrug*

I fear it's not to be helped ... and I am perfectly content with that. ;)

Pip-pip,
