D is for darling daughter! Today is my little girl’s sixth
birthday

a DELICIOUS set of words, most of which I DID not know!
Happy birthday to your DAUGHTER!

Thank you.. my post ended up being shorter than I wanted it to be (other than the word list – needless to say, I DID not know any of them as well!)..
Interesting words. I'm drawn to deaconing – I guess that's used in retail a lot.
Yes, that is true.. that accounts for most of the dollars spent:)
What a great group of words. I do like drygulch, and drageoir. I have more chance of remembering (and using a) drageoir.
totally agree! i wouldnt mind having a drageoir in every room..
Hello.
Well, I only knew one word out of the list. Oh well…learned some new ones!
Belated birthday wishes to your daughter.
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the wishes.
and WWW does help me learn new words by at least having me look at words more conciously when I am reading as well as go on the prowl for new words
