“Forests are the lungs of our land, purifying the air and giving fresh strength to our people.”   —   Franklin D. Roosevelt

(Now, I understand why so many Republicans are Global Warming – Climate Change – Deniers!  If “that stinking socialist”, Roosevelt put a high value on our trees then of course they’d think it’s all hogwash!  LOL!  Maybe, someday the blinders will come off.  It better happen soon.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Jumble Spoiler – 04/20/15

Visual Description:  Sydney’s Sweet Sixteen!

HEWLE  =  WHEEL,  KREYP  =  PERKY,  THOOSE  =  SOOTHE,  TAANSO  =  SONATA   —   Giving us:  WEPRSTESNA

Clue/Question:  They would let her open her birthday gifts after everyone – – –

Answer:  WAS PRESENT

(Very nice.  That’s a good dad, who – very publicly – celebrates in his children’s milestones and accomplishments!  We had no new clue words today, but three of the jumbles came up as new for me.  Only the one for “soothe” could be confirmed as definitely having been used before.  The answer letter layout was sufficiently cryptic, but the cartoon setup made the answer fairly obvious.  I hope Sydney enjoys her big day.  Next step is a learner’s permit!  Who has the more patience – and nerves – to sit in the passenger seat while she learns, mom or dad???  Let the games begin!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
