Puzzle Notes
"August is like a long Sunday evening before the start of the school" ~Anonymous
Greetings Subscribers,
On the eve of August 2023, let's take time for ourselves and relax before the school year begins. Though I've been out of school for a long time now, I still consider August the calm before the storm of a new school year. The prolonged heat and humidity have encouraged me to recommit to a daily siesta -- something I'd first experienced during hot summers in Italy and Greece. There's wisdom in resting during the hottest hours of the day, as this recharges our batteries for evening walks and a late supper. Self-care involves rest, hydration, light meals, gelato and puzzles. Pull up a fainting couch and let the games begin!
Welcome to Week 635 of Crossword Nation. We invite you to solve "Parking Box" as your crossword of the week. Happy solving!
Be well and thank you for supporting our little puzzle shop. Until next time, I remain . . .
Cruciverbally yours and with respect,
Liz
