Still puzzling

Since leaving Florida – and pretty much while there all winter – the only jigsaw puzzles that I have done were the computer ones. These are 300 pieces with all the pieces correctly oriented. They are fun, but they are a shadow of a real jigsaw puzzle of 500 pieces or more.

So in addition to buying 16 books at the library book sale at the recent New Salem Old Town Day, I also bought a used 750-piece puzzle from a private vendor. Used puzzles almost always are missing pieces. But for a buck… what the heck.

I got a 750-piece puzzle that looked like it might be a challenge (it was). And, true to form, it was missing 4 pieces (my challenge to you: spot them in the photo). Took me about 3 days of spare time. I enjoyed doing it. I may want to do another sometime before I leave Massachusetts.

But the next one will be new, sealed at the factory, no missing pieces.
