Took my Senior Adults on a day trip yesterday and didn't get home until 9:00 last night. Didn't remember to look at the puzzle until this morning. When I did look, it was a quick swim to shore. I will wait until I get home tonight to enjoy a glass of cabernet.

On the beach - knew the answer before completing the grid this time. What's a good Halloween cocktail - Bloody Mary? Zombie?

Stay well!

I guess I am ashore. Seems too easy but I'm going with it.

Ashore after looking at the completed grid for less than a minute. Thanks for the Halloween gift so I don't have to solve all weekend and can do spooky stuff with the kids :D

If you see I'm ashore and need a nudge, feel free to message me.

Ashore after being lost at sea for weeks. Had the answer before completing the grid because I was having trouble completing the SW corner. More coffee for me!

Good Friday morning muggles

Wave after wave of muggles have been getting to the shore quickly. We already have 191 on the shore basking in the glory. Isaac has sent reinforcements of soda, ice, beer and your favorite libations

And in case you don't subscribe to the MGWCC, here are Ada and Tilghman getting ready for trick or treating

Struggled with the grid, but then got ashore very quickly. Cheers!

Well count me ashore. As with others knew the answer before the grid was complete (and the grid was a challenge). Of course I HAD to finish it before I submitted so I probably lost a page or two. Now see, that is the WSJ and MGWCC puzzle gift to me. The WSJ finished quickly and the MG is delayed leaving PLENTY of time to work on the MEOW (nudge, nudge, wink, wink).

NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!

A tricky grid but a treat of a meta. I'm definitely on the Hallo-beach, and it's way too early for a beer! I'm sure I'll make up for it later this weekend..

Have a fa-boo-lous weekend, folks!

On shore. Not too scary a solve. Would be a treat to win the mug on this one.
