It’s time for a jig saw puzzle of flowers, so today I found some nice roses. Now, I like roses, but I don’t care for the thorns that much. You can’t do a whole lot with the thorns, and you sure can’t eat them either. Still, I guess it does help keep deer from eating […]
I’ve sort of been to a spa before. It was in Thailand. I didn’t know it was a spa until after we wandered in there. I and a couple of Navy friends were on liberty there, and we saw what looked like an interesting bar on the other side of a fence. Truck (that’s what […]
Wednesday’s Daily Jigsaw Puzzle Quick: What do you get when a fly lands in your pasta with meat sauce? Answer: Bugatti. OK, so I’m not pronouncing it right. It’s still a cool car, and if someone out there wanted to buy me one, I wouldn’t object. Sigh… I’m afraid the closest I’m getting to one […]
I almost made today’s jigsaw puzzle a mystery puzzle, but decided not to at the last second. I have to wonder about these buildings, though. Do their basements ever flood? Or do they have indoor swimming pools in there? In any case, I’ll just work on the puzzle while I’m waiting to catch the next […]
Monday’s Jigsaw Puzzle The U.S. Army runs a program called the “Army Wounded Warrior Sports Program.” There is a great story about the soldier at the Flickr link below the jigsaw puzzle. Meanwhile, I thought you would enjoy a couple of modern day cowboys as a jigsaw puzzle.
Sunday’s Daily Jigsaw Puzzle My garden isn’t as nice as the one in today’s jigsaw puzzle. Actually, my garden is a small area next to the front porch. It’s about a foot wide and three feet long. Right now the only thing planted in it is dirt. I have a good crop of dirt going […]
There’s nothing quite like an Irish pub. It’s a great place to get a beer, meet friends, squash a leprechaun, and play darts. OK, I was just checking to see if you were paying attention. It’s my wife’s birthday, so I think that is a good reason to go out for a drink. Perhaps I’ll […]
Friday at last! Time to kick back, relax, and have a glass of wine. Since wine is made from grapes, and I like grapes, today’s jigsaw puzzle is from a picture of grapes. Now if I can only figure out where my wife hid the bottle…
Sometimes dealing with the government can be a bit of a pain. I had to go pay a tax bill today. Paying it wasn’t so much the problem as after I left. I couldn’t find my car in the parking garage. It was my own fault, though. I didn’t leave a trail of breadcrumbs back […]
Wednesday’s Daily Jigsaw Puzzle My horse threw a shoe. At me! Well, not really. I was playing horseshoes with Bob when one slipped out of his hand on the back-swing. Nailed me pretty good, too. And I thought yesterday’s jigsaw puzzle made me a little cross-eyed. Now I know why Bob’s wife won’t let him […]
Paint Waves Our daily jigsaw puzzle for today is an abstract jigsaw puzzle. Why? Because I haven’t done one in a while, and I thought the colors in this picture were pretty. Then I tried the tough version of the puzzle. Now my eyes are a little blurry, I have a post nasal drip, and […]
Last night we had fish for supper. I’m a big fish eater, although I’m not sure what banner fish would taste like. I did have my kids convinced at one time that the stripes were alternating flavors of vanilla and blueberry. Of course they also thought that chocolate milk came from brown cows. I’m starting […]
I went to the store today, to get a few things. There was Halloween stuff everywhere! Candy. Fake spiders. Candy. Styrofoam headstones. Candy. Skeletons. Candy. Did I mention the candy? Anyway, I know Halloween is still several weeks away, but all the Halloween junk (and candy) got me thinking about it, and when I got […]
Lennette sent me some pictures she took while on vacation. I was listening to “Hey Soul Sister” by Train on the radio and thought about her picture of this train, which runs out of Whitehorse, Alaska. Thanks, Lennette! I think every parent should take their kids on a train trip. It can be fun, if […]
So Bob’s snooty cousin from Boston comes to visit, and naturally Bob has to introduce his fancy-pants relative to me. Turns out he is an artist and some of his pictures have been turned into jigsaw puzzles. For some reason he goes off on a tangent about colleges, but he pronounces it “collage,” which I […]
Two Jigsaw Puzzles For The Price Of One! Hey, two times free is still free, right? OK, I got a little hyper on the sugar cookies tonight, so here are two jigsaw puzzles for you to enjoy. The first one is called “Marguerite” and it’s a flower, not a drink or a girl. Granted, they […]
Wednesday’s Daily Jigsaw Puzzle OK, Brenda, this puzzle is for you. Notice I decided to not rotate the pieces in this one, so you can’t say I’m evil. Just mean. I mean, a jigsaw puzzle like this can be a little hard to work, but if you make a drinking game of it, then you […]
I had a request from Rebeca to do a harder puzzle, so today’s jigsaw puzzle is moderately difficult. OK, the tough version might take a while, but it’s doable. (Is that even a word?) It is an interior shot of a building located in San Cristobal de las Casas, Mexico. The bright green paint along […]
I like tigers. Preferably ones that don’t bounce around on their tails, or try to get me to eat sugar drenched flakes of over processed corn. I especially don’t like those that want me to put tons of gas in a gas guzzling car. I prefer the natural kinds. But from a safe distance.
OK, I like boats. After all, I was a sailor for sixteen years. While the boats I rode on were a tad bit larger than this one, I still enjoyed getting into a smaller one once is a while, to go fishing, or just to sail around in. This boat looked a little lonely, so […]
