Friday Edition - November 24, 2025

Good morning, Member

Rise and shine, dear GrayViners! I stumbled across a video this week that stopped me in my tracks—“Happy Days” from The Judy Garland Show, paired with two beautiful modern renditions. It’s one of those soul-soothing clips you can’t watch just once… trust me, I tried. I still can’t decide which version I love most, but I bet you’ll have a favorite. Take a look here and tell us your pick—and feel free to share any fun finds of your own recently!

Let’s solve yesterday’s riddle: I fold and wake at your command, your tapping keys direct the strand. Your tasks begin when I appear. What am I that people hold dear?

The answer is laptop! Congratulate our clever Riddle Masters here!

Now, for your next challenge, unscramble: C C R L E I

Drop your answer here, and peek back on Monday to see who makes our winners list! Here’s a little taste of what we’re covering today: Social Security news, a pantry staple recall, Dolly Parton’s newest venture, plus holiday deals and seasonal tips.
