MY GAMEPLAY: SHADE, MORSE, LOUSE, NOOSE, GOOSE

I kind of went down the rabbit hole for a minute there when I didn’t think the answer had repeating letters. Foolish me! And it was OO’s again which has sort of been a recurring theme this week. When I was younger, our family pet named Sheba attacked a Canada goose. I was a small boy and it was quite a spectacle to behold. The goose was a neighbor’s pet named Honker and it taunted Sheba while she was tied out to her dog house. One evening, Honker slipped up and got a bit too close and that mistake nearly cost Honker her life. Sheba was by no means a big dog, and she barely weighed 65 pounds after a good meal. I stood in horror as Sheba grabbed hold of the animal by its neck and repeatedly slammed the bird on the ground from left to right. Feathers were flying of its’ body at a dizzying pace as if someone had torn open a pillow and tossed its contents into the air! But not a My Pillow because Mike Lindell uses a patented blend of soft styrofoam fill to create his headrests. I know. Momsie got me an autographed copy of his book for my birthday a couple of years ago. Speaking of the ol’ battle axe, we were chitchatting yesterday and we agreed that your starting word is where you either make it or break it. You’re only as good as your opening guess! Hey — go enjoy the sunshine if you are so blessed. Take care. On to tomorrow!
