This morning I busied myself cleaning the trailer and reorganizing it. For some reason that is always a good thing to do after a trip. I did laundry, dishes, went through our takeout tupperware collection, and swept. After that, I rummaged through some storage space to find ant poison. Apparently, when the weather changes, the ants emerge from their colonies and scout the RV park for food.
What was Zorah doing for all this time? She was playing a game on eyezmaze.com, a site my brother Mike recommended a while back. It's a great site with puzzle games. I guess they are trial and error, at least when I do them. Possibly some people use logic. In any case, they take patience, observation, and memory among other things. One game in particular, Galves, takes many steps to solve, and all in a particular order. Zorah was trying to do it for about a half hour when she asked for my help. I found the walkthrough instructions and put them in Notepad for her. I think there are about 30 steps to solving the puzzle, some of them involving timing as well. For another hour or so, she tried to get it right. She would get frustrated almost to the point of tears then she would sort of brush it off and try again.
At one point, I tried to help her and it took me three or four tries to simply go step by step to figure out what was going wrong. We figured it out after another long while, and she finally was able to go through the whole thing by herself. You should try it. Go to http://www.kotarogame.com/archives/53702998.html and play it. If you scroll down enough, you can find the walkthrough to the game. I think it's amazing that Zorah had the persistence and determination to see the thing through. It really is frustrating to miss one step because you are trying to rush to the part where you messed up and then have to start all over again...again.
