Very good!! I had the answer but not the right letters from the clue words. I discovered my “awaken” was not correct at all…didn’t have two As in the letters!! So, I found weaken and voila! Good puzzle! I remember when one of my relatives was told by her son when prodded to get a summer job — “Why, you give me everything I need.” !!
Great hearing from you, LindaLee! How’s your mom doing? — YUR
