“Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm.”   —   Abraham Lincoln

(First Abe Lincoln quote in quite a while.  Has anyone seen the cheesy Presidents’ Day sale commercial for Hyundai?  I think it’s probably THE worst Abe Lincoln that anyone has ever put out there.  I don’t know what the heck they were thinking.  Really pathetic.  Much worse than Lincoln in drag!  LOL!

I’m sending out a 1st birthday greeting to my #1 spirit in the sky, my sweet baby, Ginger!  She would have been 11 today.  We all love and miss you, Gingie.  Wally is doing his best to fill in, but we all know who will always be first in our hearts.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Answer:  LEARN THE ROPES

(Nice long thirteen letter answer!  No new clue words, however three of the four jumbles came up as new.  They have definitely used “sacee” before.  I was able to get all the clue words very quickly.  The answer letter layout was masterful.  It gave away nothing.  Fun cartoon, but the cowboy looks a little creepy to me.  I wish he had said something like:  Now, let me show you how it’s done.  Maybe that would’ve made him seem a little less creepy.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
