Small Treasures Amongst Drivel

The day began with a fresh pot of coffee and a breakfast sufficient for royalty. Afterwards, we got ourselves prim and proper and voyaged out into the world, determined to find small treasures amongst drivel. In other words - we went to yard sales. It was a supremely enjoyable experience, yet slightly awkward at the same time. Lesson learned: follow the directions on the bright neon signs. Although, the slight misdirection did afford us the opportunity to meet some amiable canines and discover the Flintstones at Bedrock.

Directly after returning home, we entered into the realm of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy. So much so that each character seemed to stand before us. Lesson learned from Jane Bennet herself: when in doubt, look like a bobble head. In order to fully immerse ourselves into the world of Austen, we enjoyed a very agreeable afternoon tea complete with fairy cakes, scones, lemon curd and, of course, tea.

It was a perfectly lovely day, and upon reflection, we must conclude that it could only be improved upon with a longer swimming scene featuring Mr. Darcy.
