Over the last some forty years, we have played our share of competitive Scrabble. Along with a fire to offset some unusual cold and rain, vying for the best plays helped pass day 9 of sheltering in place. We are fairly even players and allow the use of a dictionary, but not electronic word finders. Our games can take quite a long time, so the other player has to be prepared to supplement with other activities, such as sketching or crossword puzzles. Sadly, I lost, the second time in two days.

I wanted to show the coziness of this room and I also had fun with all the different geometric shapes.
