On the shore! Just got home from an amazing vacation in West Virginia -- great balance between relaxing completely on the porch and reading every historical marker in sight. Here is the view from our cottage, looking over the Potomac River, and a funny sign in downtown Harpers Ferry.

Solved with spousal support. Nice meta for the geographically inclined.

On the beach. Didn't take very long after waking up! :D
Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta! :shock:

I am ashore! I COMpleted the grid (unfortunately with a few errors)--which made solving a little MOre difficult. After putting it down for a while, I came back and quickly made some iNRoads on the metanism. I hAVe my answer to this clever little puzzle and will wENd my way to shore. I'll have some sparkling water.

This site is full of tools & helpful posts.

How to post a picture

Also, for images found on the interwebs, there's a tool in the icons above the posting window that will let you link it. Play around and explore.

On the Beach

Able to devote some time to it after being very busy the last couple of weeks.
Poor scheduling of a dental appointment at 1:45 Thurs on the West Coast.

Found the grid a bit tricky, but made it to shore without too much trouble. Have a great weekend everyone!

On shore. Took a few minutes to figure each step, but each step seemed promising so we kept with it, and then there it was.
