And she’s wearing a shirt with the same design, a bee being drawn to a daisy! SMH!… Sometimes I just don’t get me…I just climbed the stairs and stood at the top wondering why I went up there…and yet here I can explicitly picture a Jumble cartoon from five months ago… Memories, huh? So, There you have it Folks, Done! Have a great day, Everyone…and keep in mind… When you reach a certain age, the most valuable thing you have are your memories…So if you’re lucky enough to still have a Grandmother? Cherish the stories.Wordscapes Daily Puzzle Answers and Solutions for Today’s Challenge: Sydney, wearing a Cincinnati Bearcats T-Shirt, and relaxing comfortably in stocking-feet, adds to the homeyness of the cartoon….But it’s the little girls shirt that’s drawing me in…Back on September 12th, we had a puzzle about a little girl using her Mother’s lipstick to draw on the wall. I love Grandma speaking of dancing to the Big Bands at the Uptown Theater in Chicagowhen she was a 19-year old, and her heart necklace is such a sentimental touch. Fifi, the Papillon rescue dog, sleeping at her feet adds to the softness of the panel. And our Grandmother, still sharp enough to regale her family with stories of TIMES spent in her PAST?…Well that’s just the icing on the cake! So, in answer to our question…Grandma enjoying telling stories from her youth? It’s one of her favorite “ PAST-TIMES”.So sweet, right? …Now if we just could have avoided that damn sickle!

Anyway, celebrating a woman who’s blessed enough to have reached 101 years of age is definitely an amazing thing…as Jeff and Kathy are saying. Maybe it’s a family reunion or a celebratory gathering for Grandma’s Birthday, (And I think it might be, because Jeff’s gone formal! He’s NOT wearing a graphic tee)! …and the child’s the daughter of another family member? Or perhaps it’s a sentimental memory kind of thing with Kathy depicted as a young child sitting and listening to her Grandmother’s stories years ago ?…But I guess if that were so, there would have to be some sort of…you know “ illusion” marks or something, showing that it isn’t “ real”…But hey, you know me, I‘m just rooting around for a story…And since I can spin one from zero to 100 at the drop of a hat, maybe we don’t need to go barking up that tree!. The family setting, at 🎶 Home in Indiana,🎶 brings us into the Knurek living room, where seated on a couch listening intently to their Great-Grandmother tell a story are Jeff and Kathy’s children, Cameron and Sydney.And in addition, we see a little girl.

Kathy is our graphic artist Jeff’s wife, and we see him speaking to her about her 101 year-old Grandmother. So, I don’t think I’m going out on a limb here, when I say that todays cartoon is paying a little homage to Kathy Kent-Knurek’s family tree. The stumper? If there is one today, I think Hummus’ll be the one hardest to digest… Match and Tulip, we saw them both last year. And we’re given another repeat anagram too, CLISEK. A sweet Grandmother…and a Sickle? A sickle? My mind just kept cutting off…And trust me.I took quite a few stabs at it, but still no cigar! And Hummus? No matter how hard I tried pasteing my words together, I still couldn’t get my thoughts spread out right…So, I feel I didn’t do Grandma any justice…Sorry, Gram…I f olded…Īnyway…our words…As you may have already guessed, David’s giving us another tasty morsel to chew on today. Phew! I definitely struggled with this rhyme this morning. To give them to their Grandma…I could work it into rhyme…īut as it is, I’m settlin’…this isn’t like “ PAST-TIMES”! 👵🏻 Yes, out of our sight, but I could say someone brought them today, The TULIP I could work with…saying there was a bouquet, Too bad there aren’t hors d’oeuvres served…then maybe I could fuss… It doesn’t MATCH this family scene…and neither does the HUMMUS, I’ve played around with different thoughts…but find I’m in a pickle…

👵🏻 I’m starting out by saying that I’m disregarding SICKLE, 🎶 MEMORIES light the corners of my mind…Misty water-colored memories of the way we were…Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind…Smiles we gave to one another for the way we were…🎶 “ The Way We Were” – Barbra Streisand.
