;D ;D ;Dwe'd gone out earlier and just missed the mail delivery, so we had to go into the village Post Office to collect a package, that curiously i had to sign for......hmm? didn't have a clue. so we brought up our little piece of paper to claim my parcel and the Postmistress looked at me kinda funny and opened the safe to retrieve this very important package from overseas, Eastern Europe even. remember, our little crossroads only boasts a population of 460 souls, so a package from Serbia is Big Doings.
so right there in the Post Office i did my little happy dance much to my husband's chagrin, and exclaimed to the general public "I GOT ROCKS"!!!!! well, i thought that woman was going to call the men in white coats right there and then. "ROCKS??" she says..."by REGISTERED MAIL?
", "well, i never..."
HA!!! some people just DON'T get it!!!! i was thrilled, you would have thought i'd won the lottery. well, in a way, i guess i did!
Zoran, i am humbled by your generosity, thank you SO much! even more humbled by your organization. the slabbettes were all numbered and had a corresponding list to ID them all.
the photos were all taken wet (or nearly so) on the rim of my stainless steel sink, i forgot to add a scale, but i think you can tell approx. what size these all are:
first up, some lovely green Serbian Chrysoprase:

Thanks for Looking!
