I have been overly tired and headache today. Probably from storm keeping me awake in the middle of the night.

Two things that brightened my day was watching the hummingbirds and opening Shirley's package.

I had to look up both of the varieties. Love.. love.. love.... them.

That iris looks so colorful and beautiful. And I do love oriental lilies.

Ruth, lovely package from Shirley!!

I hope you feel better!!

Ruth.....BUZZ on Nikolaus....I love this!!

TIEBREAKER Q # 6

What is Wills Middle Name???

HINTS......

German

8 letters

there is only one letter that is in FREDRICK, that is in Wills middle name.....oh but which one is it????....LOL!

No letter "T" in Wills middle name

There is an "A" in Wills middle name

No duplicate letters in Will's middle name

I must say, since Wills was baptized with this middle name in 1996, I have never met anyone with this as a first name. Maybe you have....I have not. In fact, I do not recall ever meeting a male with this as a first name.

I need to put my tomato and pepper plants in the ground....so behind on this stuff. I will be back to check on your guesses. Susan, make sure and choose a letter on Ruth's Fotess game.....it is up to you and me to figure the two plants out.... I am in limbo on these plants. I will ponder this while gardening outside...LOL!

Garrison

WOW...another great name...Garrison...but BUZZ.

More HINTS.....

Only 2 vowels

There are Two consonants in the name Garrison that you would find in Wills middle name

Are you still looking for a BINGO? I now have it.

Jeanne.....GREAT....Congratulations!! You join Susan in the BINGO winners circle!!

Any other BINGO winners?? Speak up.....

Hilbrand

Ruth, so sorry I have to BUZZ you again.........

Oh my goodness, where are you coming up with these names?? To bad I am not having babies.....several boys....darn good names Ruth and Susan....but maybe in my next life!!

Hints....

no i......

we know there is an a

there is an L and either an "N" or a "B" or a "D" (from the name Hilbrand)

Krischan

Sorry didn’t see the last comments

TIEBREAKER Q # 6

BUZZ Susan...Krischan....love it....sounds like a delicious European dessert.

What is Wills Middle Name???

And I had an error in a clue.....look below to BAD ME....there is one letter x 2 in Wills middle name

HINTS......

German

8 letters

There is only one letter that is in FREDRICK, that is in Wills middle name.....oh but which one is it????....LOL!

No letter "T" in Wills middle name

There is an "A" in Wills middle name

Bad me....there are two of this letter.....a consonant

I must say, since Wills was baptized with this middle name in 1996, I have never met anyone with this as a first name. Maybe you have....I have not. In fact, I do not recall ever meeting a male with this as a first name.

Only 2 vowels

There are Two consonants in the name Garrison that you would find in Wills middle name

no "i" in Wills middle name (i as in iris)

there is an "L" in Wills middle name and either an "N" or a "B" or a "D" (from the name Hilbrand)

You still need a letter from the the name Fredrick. Since Susan called Fredrick, none of the guesses have had this letter.

OBFERS... I am feeling "giving"......please call BINGO, if you have it, by 10AM PACIFIC time tomorrow (Friday)....no call, no prize....LOL!

Thus far, Susan and Jeanne have called it. Congrats!!

Oh my this is a difficult one. I am going to try another guess. Is it Wolfgang?

DING....DING....DING....DING

Susan....you got it....Wills middle name is Wolfgang!! Congratulations!! You Win!!

Ruth and Susan, thanks for playing and putting up with me!!

Oh my gosh I can’t believe it! Thanks for providing such entertaining games Annie. Ruth you were a formidable opponent. We came up with some awesome names together didn’t we? I honestly was not coming up with anything and started saying to myself it is probably something really off the wall and I will never guess it. Then suddenly the name Wolfgang just popped into my mind. And I went through all the clues and I said, this just might be it! So excited to play!

Susan and Ruth, Wills Wolfgang loved hearing your names guesses.........He loved the names Hilbrand and Krischan especially. Yesterday, Wills wanted to hear the clues....and said hey Annie, you can use "MUSIC" (Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart) and "Cooking" (Wolfgang Puck). I told him they were future clues....as Annie makes you girls work hard for a prize...HAHA! If I had used those clues early on, you would have certainly guessed yesterday.

Regarding BINGO.....I checked to see if Shirley and/or Ruth had BINGO. And Ruth does have BINGO. Shirley, you had one more needed fetch.

Ruth has not posted on her FOTESS swap since yesterday and has not posted here since yesterday. If she has, I don't see it. Her computer might be down. So BINGO prizes for Susan, Jeanne and Ruth....Congrats ladies!!

Susan, you also will get a a prize for the Primarily Wills game.....well done!!

I am not sure when I will get prizes out but will let you know when I do.

I am hosting FOTESS for the month of May and it will be ever so simple, as I am gone quite a bit during the month of May.

I think this is a wrap for this month. Ruth Susan, Shirley and Jeanne, thanks for playing games, and/or swapping etc.....always a pleasure playing with you!!

Happy Friday....Happy weekend.....Happy May!!

Congratulations Susan.

Annie, your games are always fun.

Thank you for hosting such a fun month.

A great month - as always, lots of fun!
