Friday Edition - May 29, 2026

Good morning, Member 👋

I hope you’re settling in with a warm cup of coffee and a comfortable chair. I was looking at the calendar and realized that summer is just a few weeks away. I have to admit, it’s always been my favorite season—longer days, backyard barbecues, fresh watermelon.

How about you, among the four seasons, which one's your favorite and why? The best part is hearing the stories that come along with your choice—because every favorite season usually comes with a favorite memory.

Now, let’s take a look at yesterday’s riddle. We asked: What has no wings but can fly, no eyes but can cry?

The answer is a cloud! A big round of applause to those who figured it out.

And now it’s time for today’s challenge. Unscramble these: R E D A G N

Head over to the forum and submit your guess. Everyone who gets it correct will earn a shout-out in Monday’s newsletter! Alright, the coffee’s poured, the conversation is flowing, and we’ve got some fresh stories waiting for you. So get comfortable, stay awhile, and let’s spend a little part of this Friday together.
