100%

Carol, Brian and Dave took a side trip to Niagara Falls this month -- just a short break before the Christmas season fully hit. They had the chance to spend time with Carol's daughter's family from Buffalo. Sarah, 11, has been struggling with spelling this term at school. (after all, who can keep it straight, these words like site, sight and cite... and words pronounced like food and flood...??? what were we thinking when the English language was being cobbled together???)

Carol, David and Sarah played a word game, with Dave and Sarah scoring points off each other, and Carol tossing in helpful hints on remembering spelling rules.

This week, Sarah reported to her Grandma Carol that she had completed her Spelling Test... Carol guessed she might have had two or three words wrong (they were tough words, truly) but not at all. Sarah was pleased to report she had achieved 100% in this spelling test.

A small thing in the greater scheme of the universe, perhaps, but it was important to us... and we consider Sarah being practically perfect in every way to be definitely 'blog-worthy'. After all, despite playing the word game, we're not sure David would have scored that well on the test!!

Well done, Sarah! Three cheers for you!
