Hope All is Well

Although I've missed hearing from everyone, I have been remiss about checking in as well.

This morning's word of the day is lacuna which really triggered memories of our group.

lacuna

PRONUNCIATION:
(luh-KYOO-nuh)
plural lacunae (luh-KYOO-nee) or lacunas

MEANING:
noun: An empty space, gap, missing part, an opening.


ETYMOLOGY:
From Latin lacuna (hole, gap), from lacus (lake). Earliest documented use: 1663.

Losing touch with our group has left a lacuna in my life.

Are you all right Bonnie? Rest of group? Are we going to try to continue the group reads?
