Crossing the Pond

In Wright City, overseas was referred to as "across the pond" or "across the waters".

If folks got drafted by the military and sent to the hinterlands, yep....they went "across the pond".

The ranch hand and his beautiful bride first crossed that pond in the recent past to spend a sojourn in Spain...(goes without saying...growin' up in Wright City...or Joinerville for that matter...did not prepare a couple of country bumpkins for that experience?).

Week next, the ubiquitous duo will adventure to Maui, Hawaii for a beach safari extraordinaire.

All ya'll pray that our marginal public school education will finally "kick in" and we will find our way back to the ranch in due time??????
