..........My accent is a mixture of NY/VA/IN and TX.......
I am so happy not to be the only "mutt" here
Mine is a combo of French, British (the best Cockney accent a foreigner could have, or so I had been told by a professor of mine lol followed by "who are your friends, young lady" lol)with a detour of Vaudois (French in Switzerland) and too many years in Tar Heel country = a mutt like I say....

And as you walk you make your path Kat
