So Embarrassed...
Okay, so I'm not a professional writer. I know that. When I signed up for "blogging," I knew that it was going to be challenging. Spelling correctly is a pet peeve of mine. In fact, I used to win the spelling bees in school.So why hasn't my spell check been correcting me when I've been writing walla! as opposed to voila!? Hmpf. I just stumbled upon the correct spelling of voila and it freaked me out. Where did I come up with 'walla' and what the heck does 'walla' mean? Just looked it up and here is what the dictionary says;
wallah , walla
noun usually in combination
Informal a person involved with or in charge of (a specified thing)
the book wallah
Guess that's not the word I was looking for to "call attention, to express satisfaction or approval, or to suggest an appearance as if by magic!"
So, I just learned something. 1) Sometimes spell check doesn't work and, 2) I'm not a writer.

I'm trying to remember if I noticed one of your walla's when I was reading a post. If I did, I probably just thought you were being clever. Because you ARE a writer - and a very good one!
hors doeuvre? NEVER looks right- not even now after I checked it again! I have to look it up every time!
I have made lots of spelling mistakes....usually because my finger has slipped onto the key next to the letter that I meant to use .....well, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it !!!! haha
I am so sorry that I've been AWOL. Since getting back from a week at my sister's, I've desperately been trying to catch up with my commenting but failing miserably !!!! I hope to be back on track soon. XXXX
hope you're having a most delightful weekend! xoxo
