I might not have won at Scrabble that night, but I sure ended up with a wonderful husband.<br /><br />What fun that you're fond of Bananagrams, too. I like Boggle as well. Games like these can be such fun. My daughter used to rush to get ready for school in the morning. Her reward was playing a game with me. Those were such special times. I'll have to challenge her to a game when she returns from her European experience this June--for old times' sake. =)<br />Keli Gwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13236868298400593688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-44658556159897493352016-04-14T19:30:39.475-07:002016-04-14T19:30:39.475-07:00I'm a day behind, Keli - - but wanted to say I...I'm a day behind, Keli - - but wanted to say I LOVED this post!<br />Hmmm....reading about your attitude toward Carl since he did better than you at Scrabble sounds like something from a romance novel *wink*. How wonderful this "story" has a happily-ever-after! :)<br /><br />I enjoy Scrabble, but enjoy some other games much more. I have such fun playing board games with my middle daughter, son-in-law, and son (when he's in town!).<br />Bananagrams is one of my favorites - - and Boggle too (are you familiar with Boggle?). Thanks for this post - - now I'm in the mood to play some games, but will have to wait until the kiddos are with me (Mother's Day) since my husband doesn't really enjoy games like we do! <br /> Hugs, Patti JoCatMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09985658721138526298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-33876864888380325582016-04-13T20:50:22.004-07:002016-04-13T20:50:22.004-07:00Laurie, it would be frustrating to have someone, e...Laurie, it would be frustrating to have someone, especially your husband, beat you at a game you love so much. My guy is definitely a more strategic Scrabble player than I am.<br /><br />I'm very glad I listened to my roommates and went on that date. Carl and I have enjoyed twenty-eight years of marriage so far, and I look forward to many more to come.Keli Gwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13236868298400593688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-32142579929849363832016-04-13T17:58:20.744-07:002016-04-13T17:58:20.744-07:00My husband Paul always beats me at Scrabble, a gam...My husband Paul always beats me at Scrabble, a game I love more than he does, so it is a bit frustrating at times when he always wins. He's more strategic than I am, I think. I enjoy most board games and really work at finding time for us to play any of them. I'm glad your room-mates talked you in to going on that date. :)Laurie Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14068922193439757745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-9469032633800021102016-04-13T16:13:45.990-07:002016-04-13T16:13:45.990-07:00Merrillee, it sounds like you have some special me...Merrillee, it sounds like you have some special memories of your early married days. Playing Chinese checkers could have be fun--if your opponent hadn't won every game. =)Keli Gwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13236868298400593688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-43758384066200310182016-04-13T15:22:07.863-07:002016-04-13T15:22:07.863-07:00I love to play Scrabble and did so on Facebook unt...I love to play Scrabble and did so on Facebook until it wouldn't load anymore. I now play Words with Friends. I'm a middle of the road player. I laughed when you talked about your husband beating you all the time at Scrabble. When my husband and I were first married, we lived in an old, old house that had gravity heat. Winter was frightful that year, and we wound up living mostly in one room. Each evening we played game after game of Chinese checkers. He beat me every time. To this day I will not play that game with him.Merrilleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08617320163408645299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-2589554118327625052016-04-13T07:56:02.953-07:002016-04-13T07:56:02.953-07:00Christine, it's interesting to play with someo...Christine, it's interesting to play with someone who knows lots of the obscure Scrabble-friendly words, isn't it?

I used to do that.

I tend to enjoy making creative words more than scoring a lot. At least that's what I tell myself, LOL.Christine Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08037185957390220266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-28653861691669993922016-04-13T06:12:32.129-07:002016-04-13T06:12:32.129-07:00I don't know that I have a favorite Scrabble m...I don't know that I have a favorite Scrabble moment, but I love playing Scrabble.
