Have to admit…this has become my new addiction. I love to hear your voice. I may start spicing up my own speech with a few of your WotWs.

I’ve been meaning to ask you – do your boys have accents or do they sound completely American?
Word of the Week is the highlight of my week. I just love listening to your accent. And the things I’m learning!! I hope you have a wonderful time in Scotland visiting the family.
Most excellent! I’ll be checking back with you next week for another word…..
