On shore, on a rare Thursday afternoon without a meeting!

The answer actually was the first thing that popped into my head, another rarity. I think I might have messed up my submission, but whether or not I submit seems to have very little to do with whether I win the mug :-) I know I'm ashore, in any case!

I’m on the beach, reporting happily from my mom's retirement community in Portland, OR. After dinner, I’ll be playing dominoes (Mexican Train). Life is good and this puzzle was a pleasure.

Yum! And this time I didn't even have to search up and down the candy aisle!

Good luck, fellow Muggles!

I should add that I was well in my way to page one when my open door policy got in the way. The 15 minute impromptu meeting put me on page 2. But education comes first!!!

LOL. I consider myself lucky that my dad only calls when visiting mom on Mondays, Wednesdays or Fridays from 4-5PM. Otherwise I'd have a tough decision to make!
