Good Saturday morning everyone!  I hope your weekend is off to a fantastic start, so let’s get right down to business.  CATNIP was the only word to get me thinking this morning.  I always thought it was two words for some reason.  Since I couldn’t find another option, I decided to go with it and take my chances.  Moving cautiously into the cartoon, I jotted down my letters and began the solve.  While staring at the letters, WHALE came first and then the whole answer came instantly!  It’s always a delight when that happens, so it was time to search the cartoon for details.  The whale coming out of the water on the headboard was funny, but what caught my eye (and couldn’t make out) was the emblem on the crown of the queen.  I think it might be a lobster, but I’ll patiently wait and post a photo of it later this afternoon.  Have a spectacular Saturday, and I’ll sea you tomorrow.  😉
