Would it be troubling if I said that the word Roads is in this grid?

5:57 am

Scrabbler

We have had a few beautiful days here but may see rain this afternoon. I am going to the real mountains, the Adirondacks, on Saturday.

Scrabbler

Another free clue.

5:58 am

doseffing

... first thing I typed today was the word for nasty rodents which is in the grid and how the cursor got in the chat first I'll never know ... so I can't complain

5:59 am

Scrabbler

Free clues are generous and kind.

5:59 am

My rationale being if you can't see ROADS you may need the help

Heyas kids ..

ve been able to get back to this. I guess the HGTV home reno shows don't want to scare people off --- they only seem to talk about falling behind on the schedule. They don't talk about prior paint colours that bleed through 3 coats of paint, or crooked walls, or ceramic tile that isn't the size it says it is and is misshapen, etc.

7:13 pm

hello torgone! and cyber
