Good morning muggles

The tenders to shore continue to be full with muggles. We have 2 on the ship and 200 on the shore.

Binnibel and Joepickett are enjoying Issac's holiday weekend brunch and his company.

I'm safely on shore. I'm pretty sure it's the correct shore this week...

So embarrassing -- been so close for 2 days, but needed a slight nudge to push me to the shore. Blaming it on my consumer tendencies! Hope everyone gets clear skies for the coming holiday weekend!

On shore. Definitely an "A-ha" moment while looking at the puzzle.

Ashore! Trying solo solving for the past couple of months. About 1 of 4. And that’s just fine. Hope everyone has a great weekend and 4th of July!

Ashore!
As much money and life as you could want! The two things most human beings would choose above all — the trouble is, humans do have a knack of choosing precisely those things that are worst for them.

Ashore but trying to find a place to sit. It’s getting crowded. I’ll have a Corona.

Still on the ship, eerily quiet, listening to the bubbles in my Prosecco, pop, pop, pop.

Just returned late last night/early this morning from a lovely two-week visit to the Old Family Homestead in the North Carolina Smoky Mountains...and I'd like to say we were without internet (honestly, I wish...)--but I can honestly note that we don't have a printer down there, and I've stopped trying to do the Meta on a laptop, because it takes *forever* to get the pen and white-out marks off of the screen...

So: Home now, puzzle printed, pen in hand, fingers crossed. :D

Have a terrific holiday weekend, Muggles.

Ashore, and happy to see my “team mascot of reference” (Pirate Parrot) raising the Jolly Roger after a walk-off Bucco win last night :-)

Happy solving, clearer skies, and a safe, fun Independence Day long weekend to you all.

I just figured it out! I am ashore. Last week my lack of baseball knowledge did me in.

On shore. Very clever. Chased many rabbits though. We couldn't believe we wasted so much time.

Haven't read everyone's comments yet. But I'm guessing there are a lot of instances of You know the word I mean this week.
Please don't say it.

Last week was relatively for me.

This week not much time to dwell on this with a house full of kids and grandkids.

Sigh.
