She said:  Me too

Words

It happened

a word I cannot put in a sentence
and
cannot define in one word

I am not even sure it is a word, but Mike used it on Words with Friends and... he got quite a few points.
Then, he tagged an e on the end for his next turn and
65 more points.

Oh, the word
emetin 

Ever heard of it?
Ever used it in a sentence?
Can you define it in one word?

So
I have two under my belt.
Poppysmic
Ignominy

might take a while to get a grip on emetin
First I need to learn how to pronounce it.


Very exciting life.

virus....

hi marti...wish you were here...though it is pretty warm today...we could have ice cream and berries


OK.  what happens when  finally, after three months, for  231/2 / 7, you have been inside
  then suddenly, you have permission to go  ...
do your own shopping !
with a mask and gloves!
first thing in the morning !
( it has been very nice to have several friends/neighbors make grocery runs for us) 

Well, it happened.  kids gave me permission! ( they are the boss, they care )

It was hard to believe at first. 
Up to Trader Joe's and back home.
Fun

Now, it is the second week
Up to Trader Joe's
Sun is out ! 
Time to put the top down on Sabrina !!!
Slipped by Bartell's ( $5. coupon if you spend $30.)
Still early, Safeway ( favorite drink on sale. No caffeine, no sugar, no name ♥ )
Then, right next door ( almost ) and  in time for breakfast...
Hash browns, egg ! muffin, and Coffee !!

Home

No pictures needed  
(when you drive a red convertible you can't hide )

Oh what a morning

I live an exciting life

Stretching....

Yes, it is a little stretch to come up with another  word so soon..but

1. I have a long story to talk about  and that might be a week to put together 
2. I already know poppysmic  ( hope you do too )
3. I am sure there is another reason, but I can't remember

so here goes

Ignominy

We have read that word so many times, and in context, we get the idea. But have you ever put it in a sentence?  
There is at least one, one word definition

Counting on YOU !

I do live an exciting life
but, I am waiting to reveal details

June 20
Proverbs 20:24  A man’s steps are directed by the Lord, How then can anyone understand his own way?

( in good hands )

So, I better post right now, without another review..

Words

I Love words...I think I always have
scrabble,  words with friends,  the dictionary !!

I thought it would be a fun idea to share a new word.
I would like  to say a word a day, but we know that would never happen.   Even if I posted a new word, how could I remember another new word in 24 hours.

I love words that can be defined by one word, but to get things started I have a word that no one,that I have talked to  has heard it... yet.... and it takes more than one word to define.  Oh well

here goes

Poppysmic

got it?

If you already know, I would love for you to tell me. 

otherwise....
the noise you make when you smack your lips together 




Hey, do you have an interesting word to share ?  

( How long did it take you to understand "harbinger" ?  # 240 Little flock ,,,and can you define THAT in one word?  ) 

Words..  they can make life exciting.

the pathway to "happy"

The paths in life vary.

Well, there are mental paths and physical paths 

Today I am talking about a physical path.

Little one discovered it..




The  yellow mail box is on the fence between our two yards.  We have had two tea parties there, mostly in their level driveway / yard.   Right below the mailbox is a green chair.  Sometimes I come out for a visit and sit down in the green chair.   The little girls are getting closer and closer.  They know they are to stay 6 feet away, but none of us have been going very far, or being around other people... not quite hugs yet, but I can hardly wait. 

The mailbox is new to us.   Our friend got a locked box so we brought this one home and painted it.  Now I can put some treats inside and put the flag up.  The girls find the treats and sometimes they draw pictures and notes for me. Then the flag is up again 





Ok. kind of hard to read, but you get the idea 

and it gets better





This is the favorite so far   


Well, not long after hubby nailed the mailbox in place, little one found the short cut

You have to look carefully,
and not as easy for the older generation
but, 
just right for little ones to come pay a visit 


their  life does not revolve around me
but sometimes
my joy revolves around them
