Earl and I are forging ahead with our 1,000 piece puzzle. In the first week, which ended yesterday, we completed the border and have various segments of the interior assembled. Some of them even hook together.
We’re still enjoying the puzzle, and the person who gifted us was pleased when she saw we were actually working on it. Missions accomplished.
We don’t work like fiends; rather, as the mood strikes we sit at the dining table and work on our masterpiece. Usually we end up putting in half a dozen pieces and then moving on. We’re not on a time schedule either. It will be finished when it’s finished. Then we’re going to invite the friend who gave it to us to come and view the completed picture.
Once she’s admired it, we’ll crunch it up and smoosh it all to pieces. It will be just like it was when we opened it. We’ll return the pieces to their original box, making sure none land on the carpet, and hand it back so she can try it. She will laugh and probably get it done in half the time that we took.
Next Christmas, we’ll likely receive another puzzle.
