Hello Lovelies, and Happy Tuesday

How do you spell "lovelies"? It looks all wrong, but that's what I get when I sound it out. Love-lies. Lovelies. Plus, my spell-checker isn't highlighting it. Why doesn't it look right?

Hello my lovelies! (It still doesn't look right.) Lovelys. (Nah.) Loves. (It sounds like doves! Loves, doves, loves and doves.) (Did you know that there are no white doves? Yeah, I'm serious. When you see white "doves" they're actually pigeons.) (Look! You came here and you actually learned something!)

Happy Tuesday!
