A Moment On Memory Lane Puzzle

Whenever it’s that lovely time when leaves start to change and fall–from late September to Thanksgiving, I simply adore getting out puzzles that show how it’s suppose to look outside….you know, in my fantasy world.

It’s been warmer here than usual for this time of year, so our leaves are starting to change–but no actual falling yet.

But I don’t really mind because I just whip out a puzzle that helps me feel the crisp, chilly air…

kids playing in piles of leaves…

all the little things…

that are easy to miss…

until we slow down a bit and let it all just happen around us.

Happy Fall everyone!!

Salute To The Flag

I accomplished my goal of finishing this Patriotic puzzle before the end of July. Now, you know I love my puzzles–but this one was a tough one. The pieces weren’t interlocking, which means they slid apart after I’d put it together. Plus all the pieces were so similar that I had no idea if things were in the right place. I know, I know. “Wahhh–wahh.”

I love the Norman Rockwell picture here, especially since we don’t see this print often. I’ll have to find this painting somewhere else because I’m not doing this misery puzzle ever again.

Haha.

Happy New Year!!

If you were anywhere near us around New Year’s I would have, no doubt, invited you…

to work on a lovely puzzle which was simply perfect for the occasion.

Happy people, fun food and fireworks.

Sounds like real life to me.

Heh, heh.

Happy New Year everyone!!

Something’s Missing!!

Ohhhhhh it’s a rotten thing INDEED to go to all the work to do a puzzle this intense (Look at allll that white and grey–gah!) only to get to the end–right before the deadline (Thanksgiving) and find out that…

you’re missing a piece!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

I mean honestly…I don’t live in a house with toddlers that eat puzzle pieces.

But wait. I do have that one cat. And he has been known to bat those pieces onto the floor and smack them around till they end up in Outer Mongolia somewhere. Hmmmmm…

Yeah, my money says it was him. Cause you know…he has that “I did it and I’m glad I did it” look to him.

*sigh*

Thwarted by the feline.

 

 

PS–Good news!! I FOUND it!!

It was in the kitchen…by the back door…

the CAT door.

Uh-huh. Outer Mongolia.

Like I said.
