Scrabble with Mother

We usually play Scrabble on Mondays when Teresa is awake and she can join in. Yesterday she left for Will's house at 6:30. It was so windy and chilly, Mother and I decided to play without her. It was the "Thursday Smack down!"

Mother in "concentration" mode
What to do? What to do?
Gotta stay away from triple
set up ~ Mother pounced on those!
Our finished board.
Nicely spread ~ some good words.
We were tied a couple of times.
Then I would get a good word
only to be "smacked down"

After we finished and Mother called Teresa to see where she was on her journey (actually, I think she called to tell her about our game) we had sandwiches from Arby's. It was a good day. Teresa made it to Fort Smith without incident.

Later I went to pick up Buck's medicines and later still to Topher's soccer match. Buck went back to the doctor yesterday. He got 3 shots ~ a Z-pac ~ some new cough syrup, and a nebulizer. He declares there must be caffeine in some of the medicine because he didn't get to sleep until 3 this morning. His viral infection has turned into a bacterial infection. Doctor B told him he is in "bad shape". Not exactly what you want to hear!

Have a good day ~ kiss kiss!
