I feel so lucky and blessed to have friends (and family) that share my love for scrabble. It took 34 years, but finally I have scrabble-peeps. Yes a 'nerd-herd' but seriously social. And also thank you to the Vos-Family for your little paradise in Pearly Beach.
We kicked off the scrabbling with two games:
Mia vs Lidia and
Ilse vs Willy-John vs Tania (the Mathys rivalry)
Our mascot: Sir Spongebob Scrabble Pants officiating the tournament.
Lidia has to get the award for most improved in terms of time taken to play. The girl was a "Speedy Gonzalez" compared to her usual pace. Awesome stuff Lids.
Well her new found speed also translated into a win.
Game Scores:
Lidia - 393
Mia - 226
On the other side of the table, the Mathyse were intensely taking each other on. The fierce competition obvious in their defensive playing style. The name of the game was: ‘Boycott!!!!’
Well the victor of the epic battle was the young warrior – Sir Willy-John. (his skill still amazes me – raw talent)
Game Scores
Willy-John – 223
Tania – 206
Ilse – 144 (la loser)
Ilse was an early fader or maybe just a bad loser and went to bed early. Mia felt her young brain had had enough for the day and just watch the Masters of the game play two more games for the evening.
