RESULTS SUPERSCRABBLE GAMES DECENBER 21-2017

MERRY CHRISMAS TO ALL!  It was a pleasant surprise to receive a Jade Horse from all of you.  I truly love it!  Reading the Crystal “Bible” by Judy Hall, JADE is a wonderful semi-precious stone filled with many positive attributes. It will take a few pages to innumerate all of it’s positive vibes that brings harmony.  It is believed to attract good luck and friendship.  Thank you all for such a special and unique gift!  I will treasure it forever.

I’m finally back to the California groove…getting over with a cold that prevented me from sending you the stats sooner. Another eventful year 2017 will soon pass in less than a week, and we should all be THANKFUL to whomever you believe has been guiding you, protecting you from getting harmed, and blessing your life with good health, good friends, happiness, and contentment in your heart.
