On shore. Halloween is my favorite holiday! No gifts, lots of candy. :)

I'm Baaaack (and also Onshore)! I haven't been on the forum for the last couple of weeks because of too many things on my calendar and too many last-minute out of town trips. I believe my last post was when we were traveling to Disneyworld to celebrate our granddaughter's 5th birthday. As I recall, I promised a photo of the happy occasion. Sorry this one doesn't include any Disney characters*, but at least you get to see GaGa (that would be me) and Elise after she opened her birthday gift.

* I didn't even see Mickey once the entire time we were there!

Despite a late start, a fast solve. The puzzle was harder than the meta!

On the shore. Hate to miss the Gaffney Gulp Extravaganza this weekend but a can’t-miss-wedding-invitation will prevent me from attending the Zoom call. Looking forward to seeing the replay. And wasn’t 46D supposed to have forum-related answer? 😀🤷‍♂️

Ashore! Grid was tough - meta a welcome island breeze. Sand in the toes.

Ashore!
After too many weeks of parking at Isaac's I don't care if it's page 8 or page 80; nice to solve something for a change.

Hope everyone has a safe weekend and a fun All Hallow's Eve.

Ashore! Surprisingly quick solve for the grid, too. Guess I'm up to snuff on my spooky season trivia.

Late start, early finish. Happy Halloween to the multitudes on the beach who escaped the deathtrap!

Well, I was hoping to hit the Halloween party on the ship…but fine, I guess the cabana is good, too…

High Five! (whoops, wrong meta)
I was going to post I've watched Jolly Ball too many times... but that would be a lie as you can never watch Jolly Ball too many times.

My wife collects mold-a-ramas. She would buy them for the kids as they were the cheapest souvenir you could get back when they were $2. She now monitors websites for unique ones being sold.

Ashore. Nicely done, Mr.Gaffney. I might still go on the Zoom call, although I suspect the numbers will be way down this week.
