OK--with the assistance of my hero, Wendy Walker, made it to shore. Nice to see you all. Won't be submitting and darn glad to have gotten here.

Good luck, Muggles.

Thought I saw my way to shore but it isn't happening....

Finally ashore....it took me forever but some things are worth taking forever. Got to keep the streak alive. At least no snow shoveling in GA so I guess we all have to pick our battles.

A bit of insomnia did the trick. Now ashore.

Kas - the snow looks frozen on the dogs. What did you do? 1) leave them out hoping for a January thaw, 2) put them in the garage until the snow melted, 3) sequester them in a bathroom while they thawed and you mopped up the water?

Vigorous toweling, Bob. The dogs enjoy it, and we keep a supply of old towels handy, year round. (If it’s not snow, it’s rain, or mud, or…whatever else those two monsters get into…)

Finally ashore thanks to a nudge from Cynthia!

Solstice to equinox,

Chionophobia--thanks for expanding my vocabulary!

Scanned quickly through the posts here and, as usual, feeling really dumb seeing how many have solved and how many see steps 1 and 2 while I am seeing nothing at all. It gets really tiring

Hooray! On the shore!

@Kas Skunks?

On the beach. Answer is in late on a Sunday. Took a little longer than it should, but as many mentioned a small error threw me for a loop!

It’s always the first step that’s the hardest! I always just try another angle and sometimes it works. Thank goodness for the helpful and encouraging community here. Don’t hesitate to ask for help on those first steps- it makes the next times a little easier.

Had to think about this all weekend. It finally clicked! Looking back, I don't know how I did not see it sooner. Happy to be ashore!

Done Thursday, and done just a few minutes ago.

This one isn't as solid to me as most I've solved, but I'm going to go with it anyway.
I'll apologize later if I'm wrong.

Ever heard of razzleberry? Three different berries. Maybe I can talk Mrs. OGD into cooking one up.

On shore. Finally. Took way too long. Thanks to @Wendy Walker for telling me simply that I was over-complicating it. (Moi? Noooo, never!)

And I saw it just after the last of the in-laws had loaded up their car to leave. Projects with the father-in-law done. No more 2 year old and 5 year old doing what 2- and 5-year olds do. Back to the peace and quiet of just the two of us in our snow-bound house in the frozen woods.

Funny how it happened that way...

Maybe a glass of wine? Depends on whether there's any left after this weekend!

Bob, please add me to the tally on shore.
Post #254. Thanks!

Ashore! My first time posting here, but my fourth meta solve in as many weeks.

I feel so lame. I got steps 1 and 2 yesterday. Still not on the beach.

Sadly still at sea.

Made it to the beach very late.🏖
