Oh! the dilemma! My best picture of the day was yet another squirrel, but I think I've milked that subject about enough! (Thank you all for the exceedingly kind comments!)
Looking for an alternative to yet another "Squirrel with Peanut" photo, I walked my camera through my day, out to dinner with our friend, and played Scrabble late into the evening. When it was over, I had no photo worth sharing. I had one I'd hoped to use, until I saw it up on the computer...no... There was a nice one Ken took of me when I won a game, but I hadn't taken it...so no... And so, this remains...
In the end, it represents an exciting moment in my day when I played all seven of my tiles for that elusive extra 50 points. (Ken tells me, chidingly, I'm "a good winner") So, she "Bounces" out of here and says, "So", nice play, "Eh"?
I just got Bananagrams for Christmas...that's a fast game...but we don't time our plays during a regular Scrabble game. I don't know if any of us could take the pressure of playing faster than we do!
By "We", do you mean "Me"? It doesn't happen often... The word & the place to play it have to come together... Tonight, our friend had a 7-letter word, but couldn't play it all... It can be challenging, but we try to remember to "Play Nice" :-)
Well...the "we" was a general "Scrabble Players" pronoun. As you say - opportunity as well as the right letters....but it is a good game, especially when you "play nice".
If you have a Blog you can use up lots of extra pictures there! I Blog every day and usually add three or four more photographs in it. therevandadog.blogspot.com
Then we could see more of the squirrels - the last picture was so good - would love to view others.
I like this photo! And it is also making me think how much I like scrabble and have not played since the kids were still in college and would come home over the holidays. We always played board games back then..hmm - going to give this some thought. Just started a book club with some girlfriends but maybe we could shake things up every once in awhile and play scrabble instead! (And Louise, thanks for your comment on my CPR photo...I had been talking about taking a CPR class for years but never got around to doing it until my D-I-L's experience...sometimes we do need a push...)
After putting up my daily photo before going be bed each night, I feel as though your replies are like little gifts that greet me each morning! Thank you all for that!
I hesitate to share that I do "a yearly blog" on Shutterfly that's been about our travels; I haven't been keeping it daily. In May we leave for our home in Nova Scotia for the summer and that's when I generally set it into motion. I'd considered putting my alphabet in there, and it could become a repository for overflow photos... I've seen a few *Lovely* blogs off 365; mine's not all that artistic...I'll think about it...
I don't think any of us would get tired of your squirrel photos! Although congrats on the 83 points for your game. I always like your Scrabble shots! Oooooh and I'd love to see your Shutterfly travels!
Love the story and the photo that represented your day!
I gave it to my nephew for Christmas, too.
