Just getting to this now. Quick swim. Off to visit grandkids in Maine.

Hope many of you saw northern lights last night. We saw them in Pennsylvania (!!!) and the show in Maine (shown) was amazing. Hoping for more tonight.

Stay well all

@Streroto We saw them very clearly in Mass until the clouds rolled in. I receives this image from a friend in Maine.

Solved. I'll have a Woodford Reserve neat please!
If I don't win a mug, I can always make one... ;) but it won't have the same cachet.

I'll make up a drink called "crowd control" and order it. It'll have Blue caracoa and, oh, I guess ĝin and... well, make up the rest of the ingredients later.
There’s a drink called Corpse Reviver No. Blue that fills that bill!

Ashore!

We're late, using the excuse of looking for the northern lights (jealous of all the pictures above, as we didn't see them!)

Good Friday morning muggles

Welcome to our newest muggle @CrosswordChinchilla - Great to have more muggles

The shore is quickly getting crowded with 145 muggles getting drinks or just relaxing.

Isaac has been busy keeping the tiki bars on the shore stocked since he has an empty bar on the ship.

On shore after finally detaching my brain from a very insistent red herring.

So very happy to be on the shore! I missed out on last weekend's meta fun since I spent much of my time driving to and from the Richmond, VA area to help with and attend my niece's baby shower. The photo I have attached is my great niece (AKA the future big sister) holding my gift so her mom can open it next. When Mr. Hidden saw the photo, he thought for sure that Reagan (great niece) was having a sibling rivalry moment based on the look on her face. On the contrary, she was reacting to the size and weight of the package. She is very excited to welcome baby Caroline as evidenced by the fact that she pours over all the baby catalogs that arrive at their house, marking the things she wants to buy for her new sister. So sweet!
