7:17 am

godthaab

Very Excellent! You win a matching pair of galae!

7:20 am

7:33 am

hokie carla

howdy folks

7:33 am

BzznBea

Morning, Carla.

7:34 am

hokie carla

just found my nemesis T. found yours last night.

7:35 am

BzznBea

I got them both. =)

7:37 am

BzznBea

Today is a t4 of how many Babble words can you remember.

7:37 am

hokie carla

yep

7:37 am

hokie carla

and it took me a while to figure out what t4 you were referring to 🤣

7:42 am

hokie carla

99 left - have grayed 5 but many others are far, far away

7:42 am

BzznBea

Wow! You must have got a lot of words last night

7:43 am

hokie carla

106 when I started a few minutes ago

7:44 am

hokie carla

still need 9 + 5 A's - so that's pretty normal

7:45 am

BzznBea

I only have one A.

7:45 am

BzznBea

Still on second row.

7:45 am

hokie carla

well, I'm sure it won't take you long when you get to them

7:47 am

BzznBea

When does #2 leave for school? NC State, right?

7:47 am

hokie carla

yes, in less than a week 😭

7:48 am

BzznBea

Is he excited?

7:49 am

MollyL

With this many words in a grid, any guess is good

7:49 am

BzznBea

You are right, Molly.

7:50 am

BzznBea

And I am "that" one in the crowd.

7:50 am

MollyL

Somehow, I am not seeing Carla as the weepy empty nester
: D

7:52 am

Scrabbler

Yay, a big grid!

7:52 am

hokie carla

I think so

7:53 am

BzznBea

I'm only about an hour away if he needs help quicker than you can get there.

7:53 am

BzznBea

Morning, Scrabs.

7:53 am

Scrabbler

Howdy, Bea.

7:55 am

hokie carla

thanks, I will tell him. I ran into #1's ex-girlfriend at Target the other day and she's there and said the same thing. Her mother said "he'll never call you" and then we both agreed that was true. he's a little shy

7:55 am

hokie carla

hey scrabs

7:56 am

BzznBea

You can call me. I even have a nice guest room if he needs a place to get away.

7:57 am

hokie carla

oh, that reminds me. I saw on the Ring app yesterday that someone about 5 min away from us had their house shot up.

7:57 am

Scrabbler

How nice to take care of college students, especially the freshmen. Some of my patients go to school in the town where I kayak so I always offer to bring care packages.

7:57 am

hokie carla

they said some of the neighbors said it sounded like a semi automatic and they had found 4 bullets in the house so far.

7:58 am

hokie carla

how nice, scrabbs

7:58 am

BzznBea

Good grief! Wonder why they were targeted.

7:59 am

hokie carla

I don't know, the homeowner was looking for people around them that might have any camera footage

8:00 am

BzznBea

We had a quiet night last night. =) Thank goodness.

8:00 am

hokie carla

ok, I think I have the first part of that TR9 but not getting the 2nd part

8:00 am

hokie carla

yes, thank goodness, bea

8:00 am

BzznBea

Hamburger drive in

8:01 am

hokie carla

aha, thx

8:01 am

MollyL

I always hesitate to clue that because that brand is not in all states and certainly not overseas

8:01 am

BzznBea

True.

8:02 am

hokie carla

was thrown off by the middle letter because I was including it in the first syllable

8:02 am

BzznBea

I always try the Greek isle.

8:02 am

hokie carla

yeah, but Bea was cluing to me so she knew I'd know 😁

8:03 am

BzznBea

We are planning a trip back to KS. I'm excited.

8:04 am

MollyL

Yes, but you know later someone will say "I didn't get the hamburger drive in clue"
: D

8:04 am

Scrabbler

Going to see Dorothy and Toto?

8:04 am

BzznBea

Family and friends.

8:05 am

hokie carla

I used to drive through there if I was near it and on my way home to buy a bag of ice. love that ice. but now I can get it at chick-fil-a too.

8:06 am

hokie carla

I didn't get the SST clue 😜

8:06 am

BzznBea

There is one right behind Mom's pain doctor. We always have to stop so she can get a Dr. Pepper after.

8:07 am

hokie carla

I like their slushes too

8:08 am

BzznBea

Cherry Limeade is my go to.

8:09 am

hokie carla

not a cherry fan so would not get that

8:11 am

BzznBea

I remember as a teen always stopping and getting a CVLOP.

8:12 am

hokie carla

you might have to tell us what that is

8:13 am

BzznBea

It would drive Ru nuts, wouldn't it?

8:14 am

BzznBea

It is a cherry vanilla lemon orange Pepsi

8:14 am

hokie carla

cherry vanilla lime orange...

8:14 am

hokie carla

8:18 pm

hurshy
