Lost at sea and at a loss for the word.

Ashore with a really hard nudge that sent me up in the air with a safe landing beside the cabana boy ( and Meg)

The fellow here on the left up in the air is our dear friend Buddy- building his house at the end of our property in 2019. Such energy and skills at 23 years old.

"We're on the shore!" I cried with glee.
"I'm happy not to be at sea,
Though you'd say n'être pas en mer."
Said Lydia, "Nous sommes à terre!"


Team Canuck are on a roll: two in a row. It's like a Canadiens winning streak!

Now I gotta mow the lawn, so make it Labatt's. It's how Canadians say Bud Light.

For nudges, feel free to PM me. I won't have a clue how to help you, but you might shove me ashore.

On the beach with a hint from Sleepy. I was reading too much into the title.

Better late than never! On the beach thanks to a great nudge from Don aka ship4u.

Happy Memorial Day, Muggles. And thanks to all our Veterans!

Ashore! Really fun meta this week. Going to have a glass of wine and toast the life of the great Richard M. Sherman. I’m sure he and his brother have already serenaded Walt in heaven with a rendition of “Feed the Birds.”

I’m in Michigan, and in college Labatt’s was always my beer of choice.

If anyone is still looking for a nudge, I'll be keeping an eye out.
I'm sensitive to how much nudging people want, so feel free to PM a specific question or specify the level of nudge you prefer.
Bespoke nudges available upon request (if I'm on shore).
Let me know how small or large a hint you want, or hit me with a specific question(s).

Finally ashore. Not a route that I'd quickly go to, but somehow the lightbulb went on. I liked how everything comes together in some sense.

Ashore! Enjoying an NA Blur Moon while playing a board game; yay for multitasking 😂 Thanks to ergcat for the nudge that helped me see I needed to try something again.

I am safe ashore...at last, and with a big 'ol lifesaver thrown at me from several kind muggles! Particular appreciation for the universally gentle nudges...still feels like cheating, but I was so close that I would have blistered the paint in the den upon seeing the reveal tonight/tomorrow morning... Nevertheless, after a solid weekend of 38D, I won't 40A, am grateful for the 6D, and can rest 66A in my (assisted) 37A. :D

Wishing one and all a happy Memorial Day! ;)

Ashore after some light reminders from @BarbaraK to look at EVERYTHING. Maybe my late entry will get ME the mug this time? :lol:

I'm still on the ship. Just had too much to do this weekend and no time to devote to the meta!
