Scrabulary Word of the Day- 08-30-15 "VANOLA"

VANOLA = VANILLA + GRANOLA

Having tasted freeze-dried strawberries, Swuvie said:

"These freeze-dried strawberries would be great with vanola."

Sounds delicious as a snack by the handful or in a bowl covered with coconut milk.

Yuuummm!

INDIVADUAL = INDIVIDUAL + VALUE

Swuvie's conference speakers were on a Scrabulary roll!  The master of ceremonies was introducing team leaders who were going to share a particular "value" to which the company adheres that had special meaning to that leader.  The Master of Ceremonies said:

Company pride.

YARN = YARD + LAWN

A fiber used for knitting or crocheting? Nope.  An interesting story? Nope.
Swuvie is selling her house and was discussing its features with her realtor.  They were looking over the weed-free landscape with a nicely trimmed lawn and Swuvie said:

"It's a big deal for buyers to see a finished yarn."  

Great home, great buy!

A couple of weeks ago, my co-worker joyfully announced that she was pregnant.   She was experiencing a particularly upset-stomach-day.  In the afternoon, when asked how she was feeling, she said:

That morning, noon and night sickness is miserable,

Today's word has a new definition thanks to the combination of words.

Scrabulary Word of the Day - 08-13-15 "TADCH"

My brother, who is visiting us this week, contributed today's Scrabulary word.

"A little butter, a little cinnamon and just a tadch of nutmeg."

Yummmm,

Scrabulary Word of the Day - 08-08-15 "METAVIVORS"

METAVIVORS = METASTATIC CANCER + SURVIVORS

I am going to break one Scrabulary rule and allow a word that is a deliberate, not accidental or spoken in conversation combination of two words.  This is in honor of my son-in-law's mom who is battling metastatic cancer.  I am in awe of this woman--of her courage, her strength, her outlook and her humor.  She said in her last blog post on 08/04/15:

"Because of all the new therapies, cancer is no longer a scenario of being either 'cured' or 'dying'.  More and more, it is being treated as a 'chronic condition' of flare-ups and setbacks, so that we must keep our bodies in as good a condition as possible during stable periods so we can better withstand the next 'trip to the rodeo.'"[chemotherapy]  They've even coined a name for us.  They call us "Metavivors." AKA Surviving with Mets."

You are an inspiration to those of us who know you and/or read your blog, Dixie.  Thoughts and prayers are with you.

Swuvie sent me today's Scrabulary word.  My grandson was asking her when they could leave to go see Meemaw and Poppy.   She said:

Scrabulary Word of the Day - 08-01-15 "GLARZING"

GLARZING = GLAZED + STARING

When I looked over at Beetie, he had a kind of blank look on his face and I said:

Just deep in thought,
~Scrabulary Chris :D
