Onshore (with a push from Wendy) and a shiny new fridge delivered this morning to keep my drinks cold. Spent new years eve cleaning out a busted refrigerator. Now I have time to move everything out of ice chests before the zoom call.

On shore after a brisk (both senses) walk in the woods.

Phew. Onshore. Danced all around that one until the AHA moment. Loved 54A. That's where a lot of my effort should go!

Have a great weekend, Muggles!

On shore with some help from the Zoom meeting. Thanks Don & Wendy!

I was so close and kind of spoiled it.

Thanks to the Zoom crew, I just zoomed ashore - needed that little extra nudge to get the frigid brain cells moving. Looking forward to our first true snowfall of the season! Hope everyone in the storm's path stays safe and warm!

Wonderful to see everyone on today's zoom! Lots of fun! Have a great weekend everyone.
Don & Cynthia

We are always happy to get to know other muggles and help in any way! PM's are always welcome. The next best thing to winning a mug is helping a fellow muggle win a mug!

Thanks to the Zoom crew to get me on the right track.

I’m reading a book which features a protagonist who is a brilliant puzzle constructor named Mike Brink. It’s fun if you like the thriller/suspense genre with a touch of the supernatural. It’s called The Puzzle Master by Danielle Trussoni
