Words you like and dislike...



I wanted to congratulate Hope this morning!  She became a first-time grandma to little Navaya Serenity Nicole last night at 1:47 a.m.  I know the feeling of being up all night and receiving that tiny bundle.  It is still so fresh in my memory =D!!  Welcome to the Grandma's Club, Hope!!  Go give her and the new mama a congratulations if you are able!!

I got more creative submissions to "Wordplay" than I had expected!  I am really pleased!  It seems that the words that were picked for your favorites and least favorites were ones that gave you positive or negative mental images.  I found that interesting.  I thought that a lot of you would give me words that  you liked the "sound" of, how they rolled off your tongue - that you enjoyed "hearing" in your ears.  That wasn't necessarily the case.  Here are the two lists, in no particular order, from no particular person...

Thanks to everyone who participated!  If you would like to see entries from
Penny
and Chuck for this "Wordplay" pay them a visit.  They put a lot of thought into this particular game.

For those of you who are wondering about my sister
Krissy
, she is hanging in there.  She is hurting, but she is always a fighter.  She had a tumble down the stairs and hurt her arm.  She has to wear a sling for awhile and then go to physical therapy.  We aren't sure when she will be able to type for an extended period of time.  If anyone wants to send her well wishes, pay her a visit.  Hope everyone is having a great Sunday!  Enjoy one another and your day! xox

  8. Congrats to Hope!   Navaya is a unique name I have never heard before that sounds pleasant and was a great choice.      I tried to look up   supercalifragilisticexpialidocious     in my small dictionary and it did not have a definition.    I believe it was in the Sound of Music.     mark
