So in my last post, I wrote how I'm enjoying the puzzles in the newspaper. I neglected to mention the mystery of the crossword puzzles here. At home, I enjoy a good crossword. I'm not spectacular at them or anything -- the Honolulu Advertiser is about my speed, the NY Times is far beyond my intellectual capabilities.
The Kenyan crossword puzzles make no sense. Here are a few recent clues...perhaps those of you word geniuses can help...maybe someone can call my grandma jackie who is the crossword queen.
1) Father returns to a small French woman as he had a strong desire to please (8 letters)
**I swear I'm not making this up
2) Three dimensional reproduction of sound obtainable when you steer zero maybe. (6 letters)
3) What happens after we ploughed the field? Disappear quickly. (7 letters)
4) Sort of string following us at sea in an uncertain manner. (3 words 2,1,5)
Huh?????? If I ever have a band, I'm calling it whatever #4 is.

Just in case Deb is still bored, this should keep her busy laughing for 30 seconds or so:
Knock knock.
Who's there?
Interrupting pirate.
Interrupt.... Aarrgh!
(OK, so it's not that funny when you read it, but try it out loud.)

HA! I love crosswords, and I´m fairly adept, but.....good luck!
When do you find out what the answers are?
Called Granny Jackie about crossword words. She agreed with the other Jackie & said good luck!She also suggested a book called Pavilion about India & another book about Sri Lanka that she is trying to remember the name of.Looks like your new digs at the training camp are a little more upscale than previous lodging.Went hiking yesterday with Mitch, Lura & Hazel at Sculpture Park. Saw Dorothy.Went to fireworks tonight & probably again tomorrow. D can't get enough of them! Happy 4th!
