I can manage the hardest of crosswords from the NY Times, no problem, but the types of puzzles you and Terry toss back and forth are just mind boggling to me. Your answers always make perfect sense, but how you arrive at them eludes me. However, that bowl of stew is right up my alley.
So glad you had such a wonderful break. And so many steps for someone who has had so little energy. How were you when you got back home? Hopefully you’re on the mend anyway. Hugs from afar. (Another freezing morning over here.)
You and Terry are by far the best puzzle solvers in the business, professionally and otherwise. I'm lost at the first letter of the first word of any and all of your puzzles to each other! Hooray that you and your Jim had a wonderful holiday and that you DIDN'T get lost! RH! That's huge! And, as always, I'm with you on the tools designed for the right-handed folks; the right-handed fork, however, was a new one to me. Had I been presented with one along side my cake, I may have used a spoon in protest. NOTE: Using a spoon for cake is a Chicago thing, that I noticed when I went to college. The only kids who used spoons for cake were from Chicago. Loved the photos, the beach especially, looks so peaceful, and the Chamberlain sign and your take on it were so funny! 😂
Ooh, such a fun fact about the original author of What a Difference a Day Makes! Thanks for going down that little trail. I hope your holiday was restorative. Did you *make* the delicious-looking stew in the camper van? What did you all say to the sea to make it retreat like that? Was someone mean to it? And that burst of energy you found? Gadzooks! I hope you were able to function the next day.
Rebecca, I'd have been making comment about that Chamberlain sign, too. Why even bother labeling it if you can't come up with anything more conclusive than that? Tack up your own next time you're there: "It's highly possible Rebecca Holden laughed when she read the above sign"
In your next life, you should start a line of everyday products for left-handed people.
Wrapping up now in hopes you'll not notice that I skipped the puzzle section entirely. 😅
Word games! Yes!! However, I must admit, I only got a little inkling of Terry’s hints. But I think I could catch on, with practice…how fun, Rebecca! Also, Kudos for the map reading. I am directionally challenged, sad to say. 🙃
I love the idea of cryptic crosswords, I can see how they work once given an answer but my brain will not agree to solve them 😂
I agree.
Thank you for the great read and laugh, Rebecca! :) Oh the photos are lovely and looks like you had a wonderful, refreshing holiday.
