(I’d be hard-pressed to remember when I last used the word “pithy”!  But it was nice to see Denis after all this time.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Jumble Spoiler – 09/21/21

Visual Description:  Jeff and Kathy, sittin’ in a tree!  K I S S I N G !!!

SRHHA  =  HARSH,  NIOAP  =  PIANO,  DLIFED  =  FIDDLE,  GLANOL  =  GALLON   —   Giving us:  HAHNODDGAN

Clue/Question:  For the happy couple, being in love and taking walks together – – –

Answer:  GO HAND IN HAND

(Just like two peas in a pod!  I bet they’re each thinking:  I’m Claddagh I met cha!  I’m pretty sure their two kids, Cam and Sydney, are glad they met too!  The Missus and I are coming up on our 35th wedding anniversary too.  Holy mackerel, where has the time gone?  It seems like only yesterday I was kissing her at the bar at The Underground.  She had just gotten through telling me how she was through with men!  LOL!  True story.

All of today’s clue words are familiar old friends.  I got them all instantly.  Three of the jumbles appear to be new, but we’ve definitely seen “dlifed” sometime before.  The answer letter layout was an earnest eleven letter jumble.  But the final answer was pretty obvious.

Cute cartoon of Jeff and Kathy, wearing his and her Claddagh tee shirts.  Taking a walk in their town park, with their little clock tower.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Happy birthday to Tyler Stewart of Barenaked Ladies!  (This song always reminds me of my son when he was around 10 or 11 years old!)
