For as long as I can remember I've had a love affair with words! When I was in high school and even after I left home, my mother and I had a date every single Sunday afternoon to play Scrabble. We challenged, we gloated, we laughed until our sides hurt and we loved every second shared.
A few weeks ago my daughter invited me to play Scrabble with her on Facebook! And it's been such a treat to share this mother and daughter tradition with her! What fun!
Words take you anywhere you want to go, don't they? That's probably why I enjoy Alphabe-Thursday so much! Thank you Mrs. Matlock! In a word...it's a pleasure!

I absolutely LOVE Scrabble...here's to triple words and power plays!
ReplyDeleteI love Scrabble too. I didn't know you could play it on Facebook. How do you find it? Do tell.
ReplyDeleteI can win my share of games but I'm not a word specialist. Wish I was.
I had a couple computer games of it but don't have it loaded on my computer right now and I miss it for those times when I just want mindless play.

if you have a love affair with words, you should check out Christy the Wordsmith on National Public Radio. She originates from Montana State University, near here:

Thanks for a post on one of my favorite things too.
I adore Scrabble, but hadn't played in awhile; then a couple of weekends ago, my daughter and I played. It was so much fun. Reminded me of how I love the game. She was also telling me about Facebook Scrabble and says she plays it with her dad.
ReplyDeleteScrabble has to be one of my all time favorite games Coralie, I played by the hours, now there isn't anyone who likes to play!
ReplyDeleteOh how clever! What a wonderful memory of time spent with your mother. So dear that you can now enjoy the same tradition with your daughter. Have a wonderful day! Twyla
ReplyDeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteScrabble is a wonderful game. I played with my sisters a lot when I was a little girl. Have a great day!

And she's great at it -- Coralie, you're currently beating me on FB! I love Scrabble, too, but it's not so easy to find someone who does! I love your gameboard photo above -- it's too adorable! So clever!
ReplyDeleteScrabble is so much fun! Thanks for this great S post. Love the message on the board! Cute!!
ReplyDeleteI love Scrabble too, but I'm not very good at it and don't get to play very often. No one ever wants to play around here. What a great choice for the letter S.
ReplyDeletei love how you set up the board :D
ReplyDeleteOohh! Another scrabble fan! I posted about this too, a couple months ago, I think. Isn't facebook scrabble great?
ReplyDeleteFun post!!! My late FIL loved scrabble and crosswords! And his mind was as sharp as a tack til the day he suddenly passed away.
ReplyDeleteMy neice has a friend who is a whizz at Scrabble. She always wins because she has learned every 2 letter word by heart!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I love the scrabble board.
ReplyDeleteI used to love to play scrabble. I might have to dig it out again. Thanks for the reminder. Great S post.
ReplyDeleteI love Scrabble and what you did with the board is beyond fantabulous! Did you add up your score?
ReplyDeleteWe were playing Scrabulous on Facebook, and then we started playing on lexulous.com. My sister, mother and my friend always have a game going. Winner starts the new game. Loved your post!
ReplyDeleteWe have a little vacation cabin in the mountains and some of the best memories so far have been playing Scrabble as a family!
ReplyDeleteWe love scrabble in our family. My mum has a German scrabble game - what a lot of fun it is to play that one!
ReplyDeleteI recently introduced scrabble to the residents at work - what a hit it is. You're right - words can take you anywhere.
Your scrabble board photo is adorable, so clever! Hubby and I went out to eat several weeks ago and there in the corner were board games. We played Scrabble and had a great time. We love board games and have such a good time playing them. We even had board game and puzzle day as the last party in my classroom.
ReplyDeleteI love your scrabble board picture! I think this will move you to the head of the class this week!
ReplyDeleteHands down winner for the most creative link to Alphabe-Thursday's Letter "S" Coralie!
ReplyDeleteThis is super neat!
A+, A+, A+
Thanks for the smile!
Scrabble is kickin! How do you play on FB? Neat post...Namaste
ReplyDeleteI love playing Scrabble on Facebook. Its pretty addictive. For almost 18 months my husband was working in Qatar and I was at home. Its was very difficult but we kept in touch playing Scrabble on Facebook. So yes, you are right, words can take us very far and in my case right to the Middle-East. Thanks for sharing.

I love scrabble, and word searches, and crosswords, and books and blogs and newspapers and magazines and basically everything that involves words, because without them...
ReplyDeleteGood Morning!! THIS IS THE CUTEST "S" POST EVER!! I love it! You know, I've only played Scrabble a few times but I always like the game.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing with us!!
Blessings for a Happy Memorial Day weekend!
Thanks for stopping by my blog.
ReplyDeleteI loved your scrabble board. Maybe you could head over here and school my husband at the game. I never can!
I love your scrabble board! I am addicted to Wordscraper on FB - a scrabble game that I can play others from around the world. So much fun!!
ReplyDeleteI love Scrabble, too, and learned to play a pretty cut throat game at my mother's knee! When we moved to the PNW several months ago, FB Scrabble became one of the main ways I stay in touch with many of my old friends.
ReplyDeleteI love playing scrabble too....I used to play it with my grandparents....The way you did the board up for a photo is so fun....
ReplyDeleteI may have to get my game out......
