Made it to shore with a push from Joe. I knew the beginning but had trouble finishing.

On shore!! Nothing nothing (well, actually 3 lovely rabbit holes) for most of the day. Then sat down again at it. Hubby got the key and we were all set. Very fun once it clicks.

This is what I've been doing this very busy weekend - but have not found the shore yet.

I need to keep looking and setting aside. :D

Lost at sea for me for the time being.
Usually found struggling with the meta late Saturday and Sunday night.

On shore!

Had to work for this one.
The progress of the meta solve included at least three distinct breakthroughs
(which means there were at least 2 moments of, "AHA! ... Now what?")

Relieved to be on the sand.
Too late for a drink. Will celebrate with a beer tomorrow night.

Ashore in Schipohl after an overnight, sleepless but puzzle-solving, flight.

My apologies to anyone who tried to send me a Private Message yesterday. I had a flury of messages last week and I inadvertently let my Inbox fill up. It is corrected now. Have an enjoyable remainder of the weekend everyone!
Don & Cynthia

We are always happy to get to know other muggles and help in any way! PM's are always welcome. The next best thing to winning a mug is helping a fellow muggle win a mug!

Self ordered mug came yesterday. This is probably the closest I’ll ever come. Coffee sure tastes good in it!

Aloha muggles! Solved using the classic “show husband, watch him scratch his head and shrug” method. Really fun metanism! @HunterX that word stuck with me immediately. Who doesn’t love a good portmanteau?
