It is a gift we have an activity we both enjoy regularly. We have a fierce Scrabble Rivalry. And sometimes I win. And sometimes she wins. Neither of us get bored for each game is different. We play almost every night. I don’t take that activity for granted. It is a gift to both of us. I am amazed the inventor of Scrabble thought out this game so well. It is always challenging. A lot of our games go down to the last move or two. Lopsided scores happen less frequently.

Every night we play a game of scrabble.  It is a fierce rivalry.  Often it goes down to the last turn or two before we can declare a winner.  I taught her everything I know about playing the game and getting more points.  I think she has learned her lessons well for she beats me all too often.

We play a open game with a computerized scrabble dictionary.  It is more fun that way.  We use a deluxe game which swivels although it is “patched” together with duct tape. There is one “build” allowed each game.  In other words you are allowed once a game to enter your seven scrabble letters in the dictionary to see whether you can come up with a seven letter word, for there is a bonus of fifty points if you use all your letters in one turn.  This is such a powerful “weapon” that we limit its use to once in each game.  We have come up with some strange words that way.  I really think she has become a better player than me, though we seem to take turns in winning.  I hate losing.
