Well we are feeling so flummoxed after seeing all the people on shore ….and seemingly easily!😟
Missed the zoom yesterday because we were delighting in the gorgeous displays of tulips and azaleas at our wonderful arboretum! So…….we might need a “little” hint to get us up out of the deep holes we keep stepping in!
A quick pm would be greatly appreciated! 😉☘️

Ashore after lots of encouragement from meta solving buddy, Acarl. I spotted the correct route yesterday but didn’t recognize it as such because I didn’t take it far enough.
Everything is easy when you see it but when you see only part of it and say “nah, that’s not going anywhere” it really puts you on the sidelines scratching your head.
I’ve been in Isaac’s bar since Thursday afternoon but never declared my status. I can report that his bar is crowded and there are always many more muggles sitting at the stools and tables with their pencils and grids that have just not declared their asea status.

Unless a bolt of inspiration hits, it appears that I will be keeping Isaac company this weekend.

We finally made it to shore feeling a bit bedraggled! We laughed out loud when the lightening finally struck!
Thank you to the friendly muggles here, Don, Sleepy and Eve, for your refocusing nudges.

On the boat with what is apparently a very doable meta. Still working on it…

If I'm around, I am willing to join the Muggle Zoom room at other times to lend a hand to those in need.

At the bar with Isaac. The gREEn beer yesterday did not help my solving abilities. My excuse isn't because I've been watching rounDBall (my bracket is destroyed btw). It's because we went on a little weekend jaUNT to celebrate our grandson's second birthday! If inspiration doesn't strike on the drive home tonight then I may be joinING the zoom call tomorrow.
