Scrabble and Vacation Report

Having a great visit at Mom's! Scrabblathon score: 9 to 8. I'm in the lead for the moment, but we've traded that back and forth. I have the high game score: 412, while Mom has the high word score: 101. We have to much fun playing. We've also been enjoying the football playoff games together--taking turns yelling at the tv. Mom rented a bike for me and it is just wonderful. I rode it home from the shop and then had another half hour ride later in the day. I'll ride my full route this morning after breakfast (about 9 miles). I'm glad I brought a windbreaker, gloves, and something to cover my ears because it's supposed to only be in the 40's when I set out. I can put up with the chill because the sun will be shining, the sky will be that high and amazing blue, and I will be surrounded by the mountains. Good stuff for my soul!
