{wanted: formidable Scrabble partner}

I love Scrabble! In fact, I am always looking for a formidable scrabble partner. A very cool feature of the Scrabble website is the Word of the Day--a fun way to increase your vocabulary and build your arsenal of words for the big game day! http://www.hasbro.com/scrabble/en_US/

{ Monet's envy? }

The Kenilworth Acquatic Gardens in Washington DC seem to be plucked out of Monet's Giverny. It is hard to imagine that such a beautiful place is smack dab in the middle of such a large sprawling city. Waterlillies and cat tails paint the picture of lush greens, vibrant pinks, demure blushes, and creamy whites. This is one of those hidden gems not to be missed. http://www.nps.gov/keaq/
