Puzzle #610

[Pinot's Mom]

I'm sorry, Karen, my time on line has been REALLY limited - too many things going on. I'll take a look at this later and see if I can solve.

[Karen]

No pressure, there's a couple letters left that would really help, but I cannot say "Hey, you should pick ....." without giving it away!

[Karen]

Bumpity!

[Pinot's Mom]

I'm sorry Karen, I don't have it and I can't guess!

[Steve Arnold]

I just discovered this thread!

I have it all except for the last line.

I'll take the /i/.

Okay - here you go, and welcome to the puzzle, Steve! This ought to help a couple of the words!
