So, in the latter part of the evening, we embark on a Scrabble Game. We now have the newest "Official Scrabble Dictionary" — a killer of creativity!! We did let one word slip by — we believe in local variations!
As the game came to the end, the finish line was open to both of us. At one point the 300 point mark was achieved. But then, the last tiles were played. I had too many high pointers so lost that elusive 300 points, moving down to the 290’s. Unfortunately not enough to win.
Oh, if there were only more words — I could have rid myself of those weighted letters and instead of being pulled to the bottom of the sea of losers, I could have been triumphant — freed of all burdens and weight. Free to live in the whiners circle (oops — wrong spellling — better go back to the Dictionary!!).
Dear Ron & Jill,
Glad that you’re enjoying Scrabble…don’t need happy knees to play it!
More seriously, our family will be praying for yours in the upcoming days. Hopefully, you are avoiding all of this snow that we’re getting in Calgary…you don’t want to miss surgery because you’re storm stayed at home!
Carol
