Good Morning, Everyone . I hope this finds you well
š§³ FAMILY VACATION – FROM HERE WITH QUARTERNITY š§³
š¶ V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N! In the summer sun!ā¦Put away the books, we’re outta school! The weather’s warm, but we’ll play it cool!ā¦We’re on vacation, havin’ lots of fun! V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N! In the summer sun!ā¦š¶ āVacationā – Connie Francis 1962 https://tinyurl.com/2czw7ms6
Soā¦the sunās not even up, but these kids sure are. And I bet they hardly even sleptā¦Hmm. You know this could go one of two ways, right?ā¦Either theyāre exhausted, and as soon as they hit the road, theyāll fall asleepā¦ORā¦these kids are so wound up, that the euphoric feeling may not easily wane. And in that case? Fasten your seat beltsā¦itās gonna be a bumpy ride!
With nothing new to grapple with, and 2 anagrams repeated from 2017: LORALD and SUCACE, todayās words were a tiny bit of a challenge for two Early Birds. Not ones to easily cry Uncle, there was a slight pause here and there, and I think if I would have heard Flunge one more TIME, I might have PACKED it ALL inā¦But as for the solve? A CLOTHES encounterā¦Most of them were READY for it, and saw it right AWAY, but there was one of them who needed to RIDE out the lettersā¦Or maybe there was another who followed SUITā¦CASE of monkey donāt see, etc. – I forgetā¦But regardless, letās get this show on THE ROADā¦
With our Jumble family of four standing in their doorway, weāre about to embark on a vacation. And whether theyāre driving to their destination, or just headed for the airport, is irreleVANt. What Davidās going for here is the fact that these kids were up and READY to leave before the crack of dawn. And if you paid CLOTHES attention to the dialogue, Jeff did MAP it all out for usā¦With the Dad saying that he had ALREADY loaded the car, (which can be seen beyond the opened door), the daughter saying sheās packed, both she and her brother saying āLetās goā, plus Mom adding that they didnāt mind getting up EARLY, we see that theyāre ALL more than READY. So it was easy to leave on timeā¦because everyone wasā¦ALREADY ALL READY! (And why am I thinking of Matt McConaughey)?ā¦Anywayā¦A bit of a stumper? Not reallyā¦You just needed to go down the right PATHā¦
Jeffās Gems? You canāt help but notice that the Dad spoke the word READY, which usually never happens when the wordās used in the solve. A slip of the tongue?ā¦Or was Jeff just looking to head us in the right DIRECTION? And that cres-CENT moon up in the sky definitely lends credence to time being of the es-CENTS. Our kids, both in pajamas and slippers are toting their blankies. Our little girl is carrying a bunny, and a flower-patterned backpack to match her slippers, and our boy is clutching a Buzz Lightyear doll, while his backpack zipper-pull is a tiny Woody. But to make a TOY STORY https://tinyurl.com/dh3k34cu short, take a CLOTHES look at Mom. Arms around Dad, she ALREADY looks exhausted, and I think she may ALREADY be READY to PACK it ALL in! My moneyās on her falling asleep first!
So, There you have it Folks, Done. Have a great day. Be well, stay safeā¦and if youāre heading out on vacation, I wish you a WHEEL good trip! š§³šš»āāļø
The Aās have itā¦
Three of the six anagrams, and two of the three answer words beginning with an āAāā¦
I think we may have just made Jumble History here today! š °ļø šš»āāļø
š¤·š»āāļø With the crowd seeming to ENGULF him, he felt it ABSURD to wait for the NOTARY Republic to be free, but needing his services, and with his paperwork ALREADY ALL READY, he took ASYLUM in the outer hall, bought a soda for a DOLLAR from the machine, and resigned himself to waitā¦so as not to hear his wife again ACCUSE him of not following throughā¦š¤·š»āāļø
šæ The bins held all old movies, selling for a DOLLAR each,
He found the one where flames ENGULF the house along the beachā¦
A few he found to be ABSURD, but still he stayed to lookā¦
For the one ābout the ASYLUM, since he really liked the book
He found a documentary on a NOTARYās duties,
And thought how could that be hardā¦it seems to be a breezeā¦
But wasting time at this display, which surely did diffuse,
A large portion of selling space, to skimp no oneād ACCUSEā¦
He then saw on the payment line his ride, his brother Eddieā¦
And he was forced to give up – ācause Edās ALREADY ALL READY! šæ
A quick look at the puzzle answer and we saw “AND READY”…but couldn’t figure out the first word. We sped through the anagrams and found no N so middle word couldn’t be AND. Moving right along, put ALL READY down, and the final word emerged. Clever and fun both.
Good Morning, Terry. I donāt think youāll be alone with choosing AND for the middle word at first glance. I meant to mention that three of my friends initially voiced the word too. It seemed like a natural segue. And for ALL we know, it may have been Davidās intentā¦Just to shake things up a bit for those of us who solve with the cartoon first, and not the words! š You never know! Have a good one, Terry. Enjoy! š§³šš»āāļø
Fun today! DOLLAR & ENGULF slowed me for a few moments and the solution took some effort.
Let’s see what manana brings….
Always fun, Mig. Enjoy your day! š§³šš»āāļø
Hi Everybody ā Notary and Asylum were a struggle for me, with Asylum requiringĀ lots of jumbling. I thought either Already or Ready would likely be part of the answer. Once I tried All for the middle word, I discovered it was actually both.
Good Morning, Caroline. Itās not all that often that either of the words are seen in print. So it stands to reason that theyād not be all that recognizable. Plus the anagrams are exceptionally good ones. And you were definitely on the right path with the solve! Wishing you a great day, Caroline. Stay cool! š§³šš»āāļø
Clever puzzle this morning. The cartoon answer took me some time. I saw ready right away but kept thinking āandā was the middle word but of course lacked the requisite ānā. Once I figured out āallā, the first already was very logical. Wishing all of you a good Sunday.
Hi Betty. Yes, very clever. And wishing you a good Sunday too! š§³šš»āāļø
why are the last two Sunday answers messed up when you solve them?
Could you be a bit more specific? We havenāt experienced any problem with any answers here on our end. š¤·š»āāļø
With today being D-Day, let us pause to remember the Allied landing, and the brave souls who stormed the beaches of Normandy in the name of freedom. We must always honor their sacrifice, and hold dear the liberty they afforded us. And may God Bless America. šŗšøšš»āāļø
Hi all – The double letter trick worked quickly for ACCUSE. DOLLAR always seems to take me a little longer than it should. Then NOTARY took a couple of jumbles, and I saw ASYLUM after trying LY as a suffix, again probably because of Leon Russelās band āAsylum Choir.ā And I still think FLUNGE should be a word! (Written, as always, before I read your writeup, Angela ā maybe I should apply for honorary Early Bird status!)
I thought the answer would end with AND READY, but crossing READY out of the letters showed the correct solution. All right, already! š
Even I recognized the Toy Story toys Woody and Buzz Lightyear. (I almost said ādollsā, but Iām sure Iād be corrected to āaction figuresā or maybe āmerchā or āswag.ā)
Good wishes to everyone.
Too bad you didnāt get to use ādollars to donutsā yesterday, Angela!
āThe lawsuit was ALREADY ALL READY, and the charges that the disgruntled employee threatened to ACCUSE the ASYLUM owner of were ABSURD, but the cost of hiring a respected NOTARY and lawyer for top DOLLAR threatened to ENGULF the entire operation.ā
(I donāt see many mentions of it anymore, and I guess it gets a little lost in the aftermath of Memorial Day, but this is the 77th anniversary of D-Day. Hereās a nice comic strip to commemorate it): https://www.gocomics.com/redandrover/2021/06/06
Hey Steveā¦We posted at the same timeā¦I was just putting up my D-Day comment. Iām running way behind schedule today, and like you, I hadnāt read your comment. And youād be ok if you called them dollsā¦today we try not to buttonhole the kids into names. Whatever they choose? Itās all good. Itās actually kind of refreshing too. Your sentenceā¦šš»šš»ā¦nice! And Dollars to Donuts? I guess it went by the way of my Honeymooners commentā¦and my āBugsy Saloneā! šš Have a good one, Steve. Enjoy! š§³šš»āāļø
My neck is still sore from shaking my head so hard at that Honeymooners skit! š
LOL! Seeing is believing. Trust me, itās a hysterical pieceā¦If youāre at all familiar with the Classic 39 episodes, and Art Carneyās delivery, thereād be no chance of you getting whiplash! ššš»āāļø
Engulf looked like fung-el to me which set me back fom the cartoon solution.Also half the Sunday paper was missing,no comics,Parade magazine ,or TV magazine.I contacted my carrier,who said the distributor in Peoria failed to send those sections over!
I can see where youād be upset, Professor. I feel the same when my paperās messed with! But youāll probably get the missing sections tomorrow. Hope the rest of your day went well. Take careā¦š§³šš»āāļø

š§³ A kid and a vacationā¦trust me no one would ACCUSE,
Them ever to be blasĆ©, ācause once they have heard the news?
Lifeās turned into ASYLUM-like, it can get quite ABSURD,
Excitement overtakes themā¦from the moment that theyāve heardā¦
Bet DOLLAR to a donut, ENGULF def comes into play,
Itās all that they will think about until departure dayā¦
(And NOTARY wonāt make the cut, despite how hard Iāve triedā¦
It doesnāt fit in here at allā¦Iām letting it just slideā¦)
So getting back to telling kids..news that turns things all heady?
Itās best to keep a lid on itā¦ātil ALREADY ALL READY! š¤·š»āāļø
