The first one easy, to no one's surprise,
But this one involves a little prize.
If you can solve the riddle below,
Then you certainly do, The Villages know! (How's that for a rhyme?)

I reside in the south, and music do hear
The sum of my digits are 23
Not much to go on, but neither am I
What's my full name, oh me, oh my!

How 'bout Lake Sumter Landing Gazebo?

[rballruss]

No, but thanks for playing.

[rballruss]

Still no winner on this one. Yes, it's a toughie! Will reveal the answer, if no one gets it, on Sunday.

[JohnZ]

Sunday? Oh for Pete's sake.....how about a clue?

[rballruss]

Oh John.....OK, but this may give it away.

Part of me gets wet when it rains, butt part of me is always wet.

The half sunk boat in the lake.

[rballruss]

Lake Sumter Lighthouse Point

[rballruss]

Nice try zcaveman, but that's not it.

[MinnieM]

I think I've got it. Is it the Ernestine II ?

[handieman]

The Lake Sumter Bridge

Handie :joke:

[rballruss]

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! MINNIEM

You are correct! The NAME is Ernestine II. Ernestine II is the half-sunk boat at Lake Sumter Landing. Chacam...you were right on it but didn't have the name. How did you come up with the name, MinnieM?

[rballruss]

MinnieM...email me to claim your prize.

Russ, I hope I'm not the only one that needs an explanation on this one. On the other hand.........
