Scrabble is a popular game with my family members too.

Also, I am wondering....I imagine the one side must use marbles for game pieces. Wonder what the game pieces would consist of in the checkers side...Can you venture a guess??<br /><br />EloraElorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04579555623060708938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4872424549721246994.post-42449237547493285442010-11-03T05:45:46.827-07:002010-11-03T05:45:46.827-07:00Lovely bits of Americana.Lovely bits of Americana.Tess Kincaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04889725786678984293noreply@blogger.com
