Oojamaflip: a wonderful word to capture a state of mind I find myself in all too often lately. For one who thrives on words, struggling to remember the name of a thing should cause great frustration. Except that it has become a constant game of Charades; everyone joins in and enjoys laughs in the process. Once again, laughter trumps grumpies!
After all, a rose by any other name would still smell as sweet; in my case, a Frangipani, my photographic contribution’s to Debbie’s One Word Sunday. Thanks Debbie, for a new word under my belt with which I can use to refer to all sort of good things whose names I have temporarily lost!

Thank you, Sarah!!! I love all the colours frangipani come in. But for this post, I though only the white ones will do (because they smell the strongest, I think!)

I loved the word, the photograph, your thoughts, and learning that you have a wonderful family and friends who play charades and laugh with you when you can’t remember the name of something.
