I know the economy has been tough this past year, but this is a little ridiculous. The tree in today’s jigsaw puzzle used to belong to the Keebler elves… Actually, this is the Kalaloch Cedar tree, located off of Highway 101 in Olympic National Park. It is supposed to be the world’s largest western red […]
We have a pet bird. She doesn’t live in a birdhouse, but in a cage. Yes, she comes out once in a while. She knows how to open the door of her cage, and she likes to torture the cats. Cats can’t fly. She doesn’t fly that well either, but she can get by. Someone […]
I drove past a cemetery this weekend, one I hadn’t seen before. I found some of the monuments there to be interesting. They each have their history, and tell a story about not only the person buried there, but the people that loved them. They run from a simple headstone to elaborate statues. This one […]
When I hear of a flower bottle, I think of something being used as a vase. This interesting drawing (I think it’s a drawing!) shows a different kind of flower bottle. I think you are supposed to drink from the bottle while admiring the flower and working the jigsaw puzzles. It sure would make working […]
It’s a bit of wishful thinking, the subject of today’s jigsaw puzzle. We just had our first snow of the year, so it was cold. For me, even more so. I was digging in the dirt all day to fix a broken water pipe. A nice salad, some bread, cold cuts, some veggies, and warm […]
Zlatograd, Bulgaria Sunday’s Free Daily Jigsaw Puzzle There are a lot of nice places to visit in Europe, and with any luck, I will get to go there someday. One such place is a quaint little town called Zlatograd, located in Bulgaria. I looked at some real estate for sale in the area (online, of […]
That wine from yesterday gave me a sweet tooth, and since there was a carnival in town, I went for some cotton candy. Cotton candy is puzzling. It’s about 99.9% sugar and .1% food coloring, and a full size stick of it uses about a tablespoon of actual sugar, yet it still can fill you […]
I have not run a jigsaw puzzle of a still life in a while, and with a bottle of wine with my name on it out there somewhere, I need something to pour it into. These glasses will do, although I don’t know the significance of the dice. Why would I be drinking wine? It’s […]
Thursday’s Free Daily Jigsaw Puzzle I’m glad I’m not a bug. Of course, when it comes to a bug’s life, they don’t know anything different. Still, bugs were around long before we got here, and they will be around long after we are gone. It bugged me that I was having a hard time coming […]
I received over two dozen e-mails about yesterday’s rant / jigsaw puzzle. Every single one was positive, including one lady who admitted she was one of those people that didn’t return things to the store shelf where she picked it up from. She said she recognized herself in the post, and would try to do […]
Soldiers Tuesday’s jigsaw puzzle, like the soldiers in it, is tough. If it is too tough for you, I apologize. I’m just in one of those moods. I was out shopping yesterday when the woman (I won’t call her a lady) in line in front of me decided she didn’t want something she had picked […]
I felt very welcome each time I visited China. The people are friendly. I saw a welcome center for tourists while I was there, and there was a young Chinese lady at the door to greet us and welcome us inside. Today’s jigsaw puzzle is of such a place.
I’ve heard of men who stare at goats, but have you heard of goats that stare at men? Well, they do. Goats are very curious creatures, and will stop whatever they are eating to see what people are doing, especially if they think they might get something to eat out of it. We saw a […]
It’s Saturday, which means it is time for a party! A jigsaw puzzle party! OK, I have no idea what that is, but it sounds good on paper: A Puzzle Party.
“Did you see Holly?” “Holly who?” “Holly, the plant lady from the beach.” “No, I did not see Holly.” “Would you like some Sea Holly?” “What, did you slice her up or something?” “No, not her, the plant.” OK, this is getting a little weird, even for me. Just enjoy the jigsaw puzzle. And no, […]
Thanksgiving’s Jigsaw Puzzle Today is Thanksgiving day in the USA. It’s a time when we get together with relatives, eat lots and lots of food until we can barely move, watch football on TV, then get up the next morning at 3:00 AM to go shopping. I don’t understand it either, but it’s a tradition. […]
Wednesday’s Jigsaw Puzzle I like things that go around and around. Maybe I just like getting dizzy. So for today’s jigsaw puzzle I chose this picture of a carousel. They go around and around, and up and down. Of course, I like playing with the milkshake machine too.
This hawk has nothing to do with politics or war. It is a bird of prey, looking for something to eat. Perhaps we can feed it some politicians. Either way, I like this bird, and I think the jigsaw puzzle is, like the bird, a little tough but worth the effort.
Today’s jigsaw puzzle is of the crew of escort barges rowing away from the dock at Wat Rachathiwat. They are preparing for the Royal Barge Procession rehearsal. This is in Thailand, one of my favorite countries to visit back when I was in the Navy.
So, what happens when a Mandarin duck flies upside down? He quacks up… OK, the duck doesn’t really speak Mandarin Chinese, that’s just it’s name. I did learn some interesting facts about Mandarin ducks. For starters, they perch in trees. I always thought they couldn’t do that because of their webbed feet. The daddy duck […]
