Hi All,
Just wanted to post a somewhat whimsical post today since it is a fairly sunny Friday morning in mid Spring. Even more important is that it is not raining! Woohoo!
Okay...sorry 'bout that folks. I intended on posting on Friday morning, but stuff happens and well, I wasn't able to get back to the post that day.
Forthwith, some words that you might find appealing, interesting, useful, educational and lots of fun to repeat with kids and children!
UNCTUOUS
WHIMSICAL
CHERUB
GESTALT
ZEPHYR
OBSEQUIOUS
SERVILE
NUCLEAR
GACK...
and of course there are many, many others in the whole of the English language.
