I gobbled up every gleeful word.<BR/>I've always liked the word gobbledygook and yelling "Geronimo" when I jump in the bath.<BR/>You're right, Raph; there are so many wonderful "G" words. Oh! I thought of another great (there's one - a bit overused though) "g" word - glissando! Doesn't it just make you want to find a patch of ice and slide around? Actually, I know it's a music word - and it's fun to run your hands across the keys of a piano to make a glissssandoooo!<BR/><BR/>Oh well, I must go - can't stand around gabbing all day!<BR/><BR/>Good bye!<BR/><BR/>KatKat Mortensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877694888419628533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6221419884447875757.post-31473931221730048522009-02-13T09:41:00.000-08:002009-02-13T09:41:00.000-08:00Thank you Lauren, glad you enjoyed the G words.
