I’ve been a bit of a lazy blogger, lately, not writing much MYSELF. I’m sorry. I’m still dealing with the effects of being sick and I tire easily. Seems I’m starting the coughing again, so I’m afraid it may be back to the doctor. I just need to take it easy, so bear with me, everyone!
But here is something that you may enjoy …. a game I inherited from my mom.
MYSTERY LETTERS!
Guess the words that the letters stand for. Some are pretty basic. Some are from songs. Some are from the Bible. Some are from movies. I guess that’s not so helpful, really. It’s a mishmash. Or mushmash, like my brain lately.
Example: 7 = DOTW is 7 = Days of the Week
See?
Rules for posting answers in the comments: Guess up to 3 that you think you know. PLEASE, NO MORE THAN 3 SO OTHERS CAN GUESS! If you want to copy it and do it with your family or friends, you may not want to look at the comments until you’re all done.
Have fun!

(well, there are 11 players on a British football team, as that’s what we call soccer. I don’t know if it’s true of American football too)
is number 9 (20=fat) obese? ( i remember hearing that 20 lbs. of extra weight meant that someone was “obese”)
No, JM! Silly girl … 😉
Sue — You are CORRECT!
16. 40 Years Wandering In The Wilderness
And I’m still working on that number 28…saving that for my fifth, if I can figure it out.

Rev — Correct! You’re so ecumenical.
6. 100 Seats in Congress?
9. 20 Fingers and toes
No wonder I couldn’t figure out 28…Broadway …hints did help with a couple though!
