My Husband "Subvet" says that when our first son "Sonshine" was born the sun rose on our world, when our second son "Gator" was born the sun laughed and when our daughter "Sugars" was born all the flowers bloomed. That says it all.

Yay! I won! ;o)

I know one of this week's words: Abjure means to plead or beg.

Hmm...Ablaut.....French for shirt.

Usage: Francois donned his ruffled ablaut, much to Armand's alarm.

Congratulations to last week's winners.

Now let's see about this week's words:

adjure:I'm with Diane on this one...to plead or beg.

ablaut: A piece of absorbant paper, such as a blotter.

LOL I'm sure that isn't correct, but it's worth a try.

Does Dianne ever NOT win the Smarty Pants award? That woman is like a walking Thesaurus!

I'll have to think about this week's words and get back at you as my Thinking Cap is failing to work today!

Remember, I only pick words that I do not know the meaning of.
