Chrys’s Theme: Unusual Words
I love
to fit unusual words into my writing if I can. I also love to discover
new-to-me words. They are so much fun. I enjoy looking at them, saying them,
and writing them. Yes, I have a real love for words. I bet many of you do too.
So I am sharing 20 odd words for each of my letters.
