Here’s this week’s riddle... can you crack the code?

I’m free to make and impossible to buy,
and sometimes worth more than anything you own.
I can last a lifetime, even if I only take a moment to make.

What am I?

📸 The answer is: A MEMORY!

Sometimes, the most meaningful journeys are the ones we take together. 📚💙

Join the Encore Book Club on Tuesday, September 8, 2026, from 6:30–7:30 p.m. MT for an online discussion of Breathing Lessons by Anne Tyler.

The novel follows Maggie and Ira Moran, a married couple of 28 years, as they travel to attend the funeral of the husband of Maggie’s former best friend. What begins as a simple road trip becomes a reflection on their marriage, family, choices, and the twists and turns that shape a life together. Through humor, memories, and everyday moments, the story explores love, marriage, family, aging, and the complicated beauty of lifelong relationships.

I don’t point north or south, but I point straight towards home.

What am I?
