[Boo'sMom]

Didn't we just do this one??? It looks awfully familiar...that's a good thing!!

 

[dianeschlicht]

Oh, oh! Another one I am not going to have time for! DH and I worked on yesterday's during breakfast and lunch, but we still have 7 answers to go!

 

[oldkicker]

I think I'd select an oceanfront suite at the Cobalt Coast Resort on Grand Cayman!

 

[oldkicker]

Stephanie - just did a quick check on yesterday's and you're due LPP!

[dianeschlicht]

Our friends are in Grand Cayman now, but I doubt they are staying at this quaint little place!

 

[Boo'sMom]

WoooooHoooooo.....pm sent for today.....I've seen this before......I'm not that bright!!!!!!!!

 

[oldkicker]

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!

Steph - I hope today's isn't a repeat! I know I've posted similar puzzles in the past!

I have some clues for this one. I figure I'll post them in just a bit....

Diane - I have a feeling you're going to be busy at that house for months yet! Years probably!

 

[gina2000]

7 Mile Beach......here I come!!!!

I'll take the riddle and sit on the beach with a book, sunglasses and a libation!

Skip the riddle.....

 

[paras4ri]

Good morning!!

I've got an idea....let's all go to Grand Cayman and work on today's riddle together!!!!

 

[Boo'sMom]

Good Idea...I'll bring the drink umbrellas.

Hopefully today will be less hectic than yesterday....I haven't worked that hard in a long time!!!!!!!!

 

[dianeschlicht]

Diane - I have a feeling you're going to be busy at that house for months yet! Years probably!

Yes, but this week seems to be one of the busier ones. Yesterday there were 13 workers out there when I arrived in the morning. I had to go back with some specs for the plumbers in the afternoon, and a couple of trucks were gone from the driveway, but it still looked like a used truck lot!

 

[oldkicker]

Stephanie! You're first in today too!

[amid chaos]

WHOA...I am SO glad i missed yesterday's riddle! think i would have scrolled right past that one without another glance.

Norah and I got home late last night...a quick trip and I am exhausted. She said the interview stunk, not her choice of words though! She will hear in 2 weeks if she got into the program. She was delighted to find out that of 200 essays written, only 50 kids got invited to defend them...she was pleased even to be in the 50. They will choose 35 to be in the honors scholar program.


BUT, she got to stay in a dorm and hang around with some kids so she was happy! It's hard to believe the next time we are there I will be leaving her!

 

[Lars624]

Good Morning!!!
I think I've seen this before..................after yesterday I'm glad I might have a slight advantage on this one......I spent a good 6 hours running around without pants yesterday.....I got some very odd looks People around here just aren't ready for that!
I need a few minutes to refresh my memory before sending my answer......

 

[paras4ri]

Diane - did you get your driveway inspected yet???

Clues....did our Riddlemeister say he had clues???? I don't beleive I'm saying this but I think it's time for a math riddle.

 

[dianeschlicht]

I've got an idea....let's all go to Grand Cayman and work on today's riddle together!!!!

Skip the riddle.....

I think BOTH of these sound like a good idea!

 

[dianeschlicht]

GAil, as I said yesterday, they "inspected" the driveway Saturday when we had 7 inches of new snow! I really thought DH was kidding when he told me that!

 

[love the magic]

Morning All!

WOW stephanie First AND LAST PANTS!!!!! What a day for YOU!!!!

Bernie! I like the Ol' Kicker kicking the Shamrock....is that new or have I just been too blinded by the recent riddles???

I like Gails's idea of "off-site" riddle solutions (I figured we should at least TRY and make it sound official!!!!) - maybe some Fiesta Margarita's will be in order?
