Playing Scrabble in our family has become a favorite past time. It is really fun now because Josh has bitten by the "scrabble bug". He LOVES to play and is very competitive. The only problem we all have is trying to beat Jane Anne. She almost NEVER loses and has a uncanny knack of making words on the triple word score, or triple letter score, or making two words at once that score mucho, mucho points. Well, as luck and skill would have it, Josh did beat all of us once! I don't think Bob and I ever won. Bob is hilarious to play with because he takes FOREVER considering every possible option over and over again (it's the competitive nature in him trying to beat his children). You could make a trip to the restroom or go get drinks, take a dip in the pool, and return and he would still be thinking things over as to which tile to place where. Every once in awhile all this thinking pays off and he has some brilliant move---mostly, though, we just have to wait a long time!
