We have folks coming from Paraguay and my 93 yr old father in law who is having some ominous abd. pain problems besides his already known cancer problem and is under the weather- very unusual for him- so we'll be laying low, burgers/steak and rhubarb pie and probably a game of Scrabble(he usually beats me half the time) and swimming for some- not exactly your typical 4th but great having them here this week. Happy 4th and God bless this wonderful country!
Sounds like a fun Fourth.
You do have me a bit confused about the Scrabble abilities of your father, as in "he usually beats me half the time." :wink: Now if he "usually" beats you, that would be more than half the time, or at least six games out of ten. If he beats you half the time, that would also mean that you beat him the other half of the time. Regardless, it sounds like he is a whale of a Scrabble player. Good for him; it is a fun game.
Just kidding. I just hope I can at least get the Scabble letters right side up on the little pedestals when I am 93. Tell your dad, "Happy Fourth of July" from ol' Soapweed.
