Wild Word Friday!
What more appropriate word than JOY on this day before our Savior’s birth!
This lovely word comes to English from the Old French, joie, and the Latin, gaudium.
“…Behold I bring good tidings of great JOY, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.” Luke 2:10-11
Blessings, Sue

Wild Word Friday! We couldn’t do a post last week about the word mother without including one this week about FATHER. My FATHER is a retired teacher and an active golfer. At age 84 he still regularly shoots in the low 40s and that’s after having back surgery last year. My FATHER always made life…
Wild Word Friday! Do you remember when you were a kid and there was something absolutely delicious about being pretend-scared? Not truly afraid, just pretend-scared. When children go out to trick-or-treat, they dress up like monsters and GOBLINs and black cats and ghosts and pretend to be scary, and, when they come to our doors…
Wild Word Friday!! Okay we have a wonderful new-to-me word that comes from the Danish and Middle English. (Did you know that many of the conquering Vikings who came to England were from Denmark? Thus many of our words have Danish roots.) The word is KNAR. A KNAR is one of those bark covered bumps…
