Dear Readers,

Have you had ENOUGH of April showers yet?  I have!

It sort of reminds me of this joke - a very old joke:

QUESTION: If April showers bring May flowers, what do May

flowers (Mayflowers) bring?

ANSWER: Pilgrims!

 Ha!

Now for the Paige Challenge...remember that I love word

games?  Take the word S H O W E R S and write it on a

piece of paper.  Make as many new words using only these

7 letters, with no repeating of letters other than those

given.  There are 2 s's, so you can use both - and don't

forget to make more words by adding an "s" to the end

of the word!

I came up with 33 words!  Can you "beat" me?

The words I found are written below in categories

of 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 letter words.  Don't peek until

you have finished your list.  Good luck! 

Spending time during the showers by playing word

games instead of whining,

Paige Turner !
