Clue/Question: Getting presents was great, but what she loved most was everyone’s – – –
Answer: PRESENCE
(Right as I was solving today’s Jumble, some woman on “Third Hour Today” said something about making your presence your present! Must be some kind of kismet! Also, they had a segment on a lady who wrote a children’s book about the little owl that was rescued from last year’s Rockefeller Center Christmas tree. And, as I glance up at my Boys Town November 2021 calendar, I see a very similar looking owl, in a very similar looking tree! Life’s coincidences are always intriguing.
All of today’s clue words are residents of the ralis95 clue word database. Three of the jumbles appear to be new. However, we’ve definitely seen “ruusen” in at least one earlier Jumble. The answer letter layout was a great eight letter jumble. Very nicely jumbled. I think the cartoon’s dialog might have been the biggest clue, for me.
Cute cartoon of a multi-generational family get together. I’m guessing that the balding gent, in glasses, is the celebrant’s son. Glad to see that Grammy’s sister is still kickin’ too! Not sure what the one grandson is giving his Grammy, but at least it’s wrapped. The cake says “Happy Birthday Mom”. Boy though. Trying to get my Mom to wear one of those little birthday hats would have taken an act of Congress! Glad this ol’ girl is a sport! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

UR,
Well folks a little insight: The Feds were ordered to come up with a super CLONE that would EXCEL at many duties…This led to a great decision to choose Your Uncle to be the the Chosen One…along the way a MISHAP or two occurred that the lab boys were at an impasse and UNSURE of the proper course to follow??¿…In the end a CLONE emerged named RU2…much to the real UR”s dismay the RU2 quickly started spewing Trumpisms!!*^£…and much to the amazement of the Techies the real UR started to believe the Donald was in his spirit??¿♡ …Sir, I need your “PRESENCE”…
Update; The real UR is being treated in Rehab with early results shaky at best {sad}…….☆
