  1. Good Morning, Everyone…🛞 TU-BE OR NOT TU-BE!🛞

    🎶Rollin’, rollin’, ROLLIN’ ON THE RIVER…🎶…”Proud Mary” – Miss Tina Turner 1970  https://tinyurl.com/2trjxve9 *

    🛞 They act as if there’s PROOF enough that things will be just fine,
    Out here amongst the WILLOW trees…or maybe trees of pine…
    Knowing he’d need a HEFTY push to get him on this FLIGHT,
    He tells his wife it’s all for her…because he has his fright
    Can’t shake the thought that he might get caught up in undertow…
    He’s biting on the bullet…and he’ll just GO WITH THE FLOW…🛞

    Let’s face it Folks, not everyone’s an adventurous sort…SUMMER just not…WATER you gonna do? 

    So…Today…A River….where peaceful waters FLOW…And we meet a couple, DUDley Do-FRIGHT, and his wife, FLOW…along with their friends, Montgomery DRIFT, and his wife, Halle FERRY…water lovers both. And the CURRENT event for the day is TUBING  https://tinyurl.com/4prkkntd  on the river…But Dudley, although not a SHALLOW man, is a firm believer in the terra FIRMa, and is very hesitate to just cast his fate to the wind…His STREAM of consciousness just isn’t in TUBE with this sort of thing.  And it’s KNOT like he’s SPILLING the beans for the first time…There’s no secret LEAKing out here. He’s SIMPly never felt the need to FLOWt down a river…and he’s kind of TIREd of telling them all that he’d rather KNOT GO…But feeling badly about keeping them all WADE-ing, and not wanting to have them TIDE up much longer, he decides not to make WAVES, RISES to the occasion, acquiesces, and agrees to just…GO WITH THE FLOW https://tinyurl.com/mt9wcssm  …And BUOYANT this grand! Our WEAK end’s SHORE off to a fine start…We finished this easy, breezy puzzle so RAPIDly we can just FLOAT through the rest of the day…

    Jeff’s💎Gems? A couple drifting in the background, and Dudley in a Wilco T-shirt…

    So…There you have it, Folks…Done. Have a good one. Be well, be kind, stay safe…And this puzzle reminds me of my friend, who went out on a kayak with a buddy of his, but the weather abruptly changed, and they became so cold that they decided to light a fire in the boat…which of course promptly sank. But I have to be honest, it was hard to feel sorry for him. Because if I’ve told him once, I’ve told him time and time again…You can’t have your kayak and heat it too…🛞🙋🏻‍♀️

    *I watched this more than once…and on one playing I was surprised that an ad started. Should that happen, it’s not the end of the reel. Just skip it and continue. It’s a great finish…🎶

  2. 🤷🏻‍♂️He had a gnawing feeling that if he’d GO WITH THE FLOW, and take the FLIGHT of fancy, that he might pay a HEFTY price down the line…when suddenly, strangely,  Sinatra’s “WILLOW Weep For Me” started playing in his head…and he wondered if that was the PROOF he needed…🤷🏻‍♂️

    ❤️ They sat beneath the WILLOW tree, love HEFTY in the air,
    And thought about how great would be a FLIGHT away from here
    Their love alone was PROOF enough…what more was there to know…
    Time just seemed of the essence…so why not GO WITH THE FLOW…❤️

  3. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Of course there are numbers of Folks,
    Who go tubing without needing pokes…
    But to those who fear water,
    They don’t fell they oughta…
    Do something where they feel they’ll choke…🤦🏻‍♂️

    🤷🏻‍♂️There are those of us who’d rather stay,
    On land instead of drift away…
    …On water of blue,
    Going further into…
    A river…any given day…🤷🏻‍♂️

    🛞 River tubing can relax a soul,
    And that’s usually most people’s goal…
    You sit and you float,
    Nothing’s needed to tote…
    You just settle into the tube’s hole…🛞

    🤷🏻‍♂️And today we see Dudley take pause,
    Not so willing to do it…because…
    He’s not real big on water,
    But his wife? He’ll support her…
    Though he tried at first clutching at straws…🤷🏻‍♂️

    👍🏻 Here’s to hoping it goes as he’s told,
    Since poor Dudley’s still not feeling bold…
    Maybe he will relax,
    And his nerves won’t be taxed…
    And he may end up totally sold…👍🏻

  5. what a great way to end the week today ! All the anagrams were there with no problems ! And the jumble , 3 words with one 2 letters and the other two , only 4 letters ! That and the cartoon gave it away to GO WITH THE FLOW ! And like you described Angela , with him being the only one not wanting to to go , joined everyone and got it ! Great jumble and your song choice is a favorite ! And your friend was funny ! So let’s bring on a nice Sunday Funday !!!!!!

    • Tks, Jim… But my friend wasn’t funny…he was reckless…I was the funny one! 😂🛞🙋🏻‍♀️

  6. Good morning. Everything is back to normal. Thank God for children. The phone and the TV in the bedroom is working fine now. The TV in the living room was working but the WIFI was out which caused all my problems. Once everything was unplugged and put back life went on as usual. Today’s jumble was a slam dunk but no blind solve. Your song video Angela was spectacular. She is amazing and the movie about her was terrific as well. Until tomorrow take care.

    • Good Afternoon, Paul. Yes, Miss Tina was definitely one of the special ones. Tk you and take care. 🛞🙋🏻‍♀️

    • …And Paul…You never mentioned any problem, so I’m not sure what you’re referring to…🤷🏻‍♀️But good to hear it’s all resolved…🛞🙋🏻‍♀️

  7. Either I’m getting smarter in my old age or the Jumble puzzles are getting easier with another good quick solving day for this. ‘Kid’. Chuck.

  8. When you think the suggestion is junk

    Just a load of of ridiculous bunk

    That tubing on the river

    Is not very clever

    Especially if you end up sunk!

    Helen

    • 🤷🏻‍♂️Tubing’s ‘round for lo so many years,
      And the day proves to be crystal clear…
      Just that Dudley takes pause,
      And it’s mostly because…
      He’s not one known for facing his fears…🤷🏻‍♂️

      👍🏻 But we see that his wife surely thinks,
      That’s there’s no chance he ever could sink…
      Since the water’s not deep,
      And inflation will keep…
      Our Dudley away from life’s brink…👍🏻

      🤷🏻‍♀️We won’t know how the ‘hole’ trip turns out,
      After the hesitation and pout…
      Maybe David will see,
      Ways to satisfy we…
      With a puzzle to erase all doubt! 🤷🏻‍♀️
