Tuesday on Wednesday~ Updated

Yup, you guessed it, I am late again! One of these weeks I am going to be on the ball and back on schedule.

Today we are using 11the grade vocabulary again and our word is,

APPURTENANCE: uh-pur-tn-uhns

1.something subordinate to another, more important thing; adjunct; accessory.
2.Law. a right, privilege, or improvement belonging to and passing with a principal property.
3.appurtenances, apparatus; instruments.

Thanks for playing, BergerBites!
I am happy you spent your "free" time thinking of a definition! I hope things are going well with you and Elianna.

I will be waiting. I know some of our "faithful" readers are away this week, but we will play without them.

I hope you are having a good week. I am having trouble with the realization that it is the 9th week of school. It seems like it was just week 6. I have much paperwork to do and reports to create! Oh well, as one has mentioned, at least we are 25% done with our school year!

Vocabulary for Today-Updated

The word this week comes from Ty's 11th grade Vocabulary & Spelling.

My hope is to give you a fighting chance to get it right! :-)

PROMULGATE: prom-uhl-geyt, proh-muhl-geyt

1.to make known by open declaration; publish; proclaim formally or put into operation (a law, decree of a court, etc.).

2.to set forth or teach publicly (a creed, doctrine, etc.).

Let's see what you've got this week!


Happy Fall Y'All!

I have to say that this word might have been a little too easy. Congrats to Grape News and Momma! I would say you both were on the right track!

Good Going! Thanks for playing!

Thank you for the kind words as well as the prayers. I am feeling a little better every day and even went out today for a little bit. I didn't do much other than ride around and get an adjustment at the chiropractor. But at least I was out of the house for a little while. It was a beautiful day here and I was grateful to be able to enjoy some of it.

I will be waiting to hear what you think of this week's word!

Thanks, everyone for their prayers! I have really needed them. Please keep them coming. Thank you for the cards and get well wishes as well.

It is slow going, but at least it is going!

Things here are really busy right now, and I don't have time for a lengthy post.

Here is our word for the day:

XENOPHOBE: (zěn'ə-fōb', zē'nə-)

n. A person unduly fearful or contemptuous of that which is foreign,
especially of strangers or foreign peoples.

xen'o·pho'bi·a n., xen'o·pho'bic adj.

I know there will be those who have missed this post, I am sorry it wasn't up earlier today. At least now, I do not have to feel badly if the answer gets posted late! :-)

Those of us here at HandyFamily are praying for those over at BergerBites! We can't wait to hear the news!
