Friday’s Jigsaw Puzzle The people in today’s jigsaw puzzle are running towards a goal – to win! In a way we are all running towards our goals. Some just run faster than others. Some run backwards. Me? It’s more like a fast walk, but I’m getting there. My next goal is to get to the […]
Thursday’s Jigsaw Puzzle Ooooo! Shiny! It’s good to reflect on things, unless it’s a mirror that you dropped. I liked the way the building reflected in the water in today’s jigsaw puzzle. It gave it an extra bit of a challenge. (Speaking of things to reflect on, did you notice the 2009 Archives CD’s are […]
You can find aloe in just about anything these days. Aloe hand cream, juice, lotion, paint, soap, alternative medicines and even shampoo. You can even find it in a jigsaw puzzle. (Too much?) I think it makes a dandy house plant. (Just be glad I didn’t rotate the pieces in today’s jigsaw puzzle!) Oh, this […]
I believe the image in today’s jigsaw puzzle is from a pinball machine. It’s a little dark, but that makes it more fun to play. Smile for the camera!
Quick note – I just published two new Mystery Jigsaw puzzles on the blog. The link is over on the right side of the page. Second quick note – the 2009 Archives CD’s are now on sale for 20% off (I have a car payment due soon, so help me out and save some money […]
Sunday’s Daily Jigsaw Puzzle Something about being out alone at night, in a place like this, strikes me as being both peaceful and spooky at the same time. Imagine you are out for a late night walk because you can’t sleep. You are tired, but need to clear your head before bed. You are alone, […]
Even a dirt path can be considered a golden road, in the right place and circumstances. This one in Saturday’s jigsaw puzzle is located in Romania. I’ve lived on dirt roads before. Well, in a house located in a yard next to a dirt road, that is. Living on a dirt road itself would be […]
Living Statues When I think of living statues, I think of evil statues that come to life and try to eat people’s brains like a cheap zombie movie. Surprisingly, Friday’s jigsaw puzzle isn’t like that at all. No one’s brains get eaten. Today’s puzzle is a surprise puzzle, meaning you don’t get a preview picture. […]
Thursday’s Daily Jigsaw Puzzle Back around the first of July I gave you a jigsaw puzzle featuring some Mexican souvenirs. Today I have some more. These are a bit more elaborate than the ones in the earlier jigsaw puzzle. (Hey, I had fun when I visited Mexico some years back.) Enjoy!
Wednesday’s Free Daily Jigsaw Puzzle This image of a fruit stall, located in Barcelona, Spain, was taken by a person that goes by the name of Daderot. I don’t know if that is a first name or a last name, but in any case, the image makes for a challenging jigsaw puzzle. As you can […]
Tuesday’s Daily Jigsaw Puzzle The photograph in today’s jigsaw puzzle is by Torsten Bolten We have a ton of youth soccer leagues around our area. It is becoming a very popular sport. In my youth, it was flag football. In a few years, I’m sure the game of choice will be Pyramid.
I never got to fly in the Concorde, although I know someone who did. In it’s time, it was the fastest commercial airplane around. I would never know what to do with all the buttons and dials and things. They are, within themselves, a bit of a puzzle. I wonder which one ran the coffee […]
Sunday’s Daily Jigsaw Puzzle It’s time for another fine art jigsaw puzzle, and this one is by Georges Seurat called “Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande-Jatte”. It dates to 1884-1886.
This guy looks like he is selling snake oil. (Hey, they get oil from fish, so why not snakes?) In the old old days, people would often set up on the side of a street to sell things, including potions guaranteed to fix about anything. I wonder if I can get one to fix Mondays?
The German Bundestag is the Parliament of the Federal Republic of Germany. With all the law shows on TV these days, I thought it would make a good subject, as well as one a little different. I liked the circular seating, so of course I had to make the pieces in today’s jigsaw puzzle rotate.
Youth is wasted on the young. OK, everyone who just nodded their heads in agreement, smile! I took my kids to the zoo when they were young, and like the little girl in Thursday’s jigsaw puzzle, they were both fascinated and slightly frightened by the pigeons in the parking lot. I wanted to show them […]
I’ve been trying to eat healthier lately. And yes, I know some of the items in today’s jigsaw puzzles are actually fruits, not vegetables, but it’s all a type of vegetation. Trust me, no flying monkeys were harmed while making this puzzle. Anyway, I’m eating more vegetables now, and while I haven’t cut back on […]
The painting in today’s jigsaw puzzle is called ‘The Lucky Dogs’ and is by Richard Ansdell. He was a prolific English oil painter, and many of his paintings remain unknown. Every so often, another painting by him will be discovered in someone’s family collection.
I had an appointment at the VA on Friday, and while I was there, I saw what appeared to be a homeless man walk into the hospital. When I got to the check in, he was there already in line, waiting to be seen. Looking around, I realized that more than a few of the […]
(New Animated Jigsaw Puzzle on page 19 of the Animated section) We live near the Greenway, a paved path that winds its way around the city, with large parts passing through the woods. (Continued below the puzzle) I’ve been on some hikes through some major woods, and spent a few nights camping out. Sherbrooke Forest […]
