From Wikipedia, “Protea is both the botanical name and the English common name of a genus of flowering plants, sometimes also called sugarbushes.” I hadn’t heard of this kind of flower before, and was surprised to see how many varieties of it existed. Some of them can get quite large, too. Thanks go to Rebecca […]
We have a unique way at work of making people clean their desks off. We play “Musical Cubicles.” It actually works. If I didn’t have to change offices every six months, I’d never see the top of my desk. I’m a bit of a pack-rat. The desktop in today’s jigsaw puzzle is what I am […]
Today was very, very hot. At least it was for us. I know for some people 95 degrees is a mild spring day, but for us here in North Carolina, it’s hot. I made some orange lemon-aid after I got home, to help me cool off. It was good. If I only had some strawberries […]
All dressed up and no place to go. Unless it is to a parade. Horses are always good to use for jigsaw puzzles. Just ask Mr. Ed, of course. (Thank you to those who wrote and said they enjoyed the double puzzles yesterday. Yes, I will do it again sometime.)
Two Jigsaw Puzzles For Monday As a former member of the United States Military, I understand and appreciate the sacrifices so many people have made over the years in the name of freedom. Monday is Memorial Day, and in honor of those who served and died, I offer a jigsaw puzzle from the Vietnam Memorial. […]
Today is a nice day to spend at the beach. I’m sitting in my beach chair, sipping a drink from a coconut, relaxing and enjoying watching the pretty girls walk by, all my cares a thousand miles away. Life is good, and it is always nice to take a break once is a while. I […]
Saturday’s Surprise Jigsaw Puzzle Do you remember breadboxes? I think they were invented a little before sliced bread. My theory is that someone made a loaf of bread too large to fit in a breadbox, so they had to slice off the end to get it to fit. Then they got to eat the leftover […]
Friday’s Daily Jigsaw Puzzle Yesterday’s jigsaw puzzles were of some horses, and sometimes horses pull carts, unless you put the cart before the horse. Or something like that. Anyway, to be fair to the horses, today’s jigsaw puzzle features a cart you pull (or push) by hand. It’s also dirt old. No, I didn’t buy […]
OK, I had Kansas on the MP3 player again, and of course, “Horse with no name” was playing while looking for a photograph to use in today’s jigsaw puzzle, so… Long story short I was going to do a picture of a pineapple when I put two and two together and got five. I was […]
I’m not sure what building this is, but I liked the photograph enough to turn it into a jigsaw puzzle.
Why do I think I should be hearing Led Zeppelin playing?
Today’s jigsaw puzzle is a little bit different, and not just by the image in it. You’ll see when you play it. It is called a pattern collage. I have no idea what that means, but it does make for a nice jigsaw puzzle. Enjoy!
I called it “Moan-day” because a lot of people moan about Mondays. I did a lot. Today I decided to quit moaning about it, and see it as a opportunity to start the week of on a positive note. I realized I have a wonderful family, a great job, and I’m happy with what I […]
Sunday’s Aerobic Jigsaw Puzzle I’m trying to get back into shape. Yes, round is a shape, but it’s not the one I want. So I’m walking and running up the stairs instead of taking the elevator. I think I’m getting better at it, but it’s hard to keep going when this little kid keeps passing […]
I like the mountains. The air always smells so fresh and clean. Springtime is nice there, too. There is lots to do there as well. About the only thing I don’t like about the mountains is having to walk uphill. Both ways.
A couple of Thursday afternoons each month, a bunch of old car enthusiasts meet at a large parking lot downtown. I drove through the parking lot on my way home from work about a week after I bought my Smart car. It got a lot of looks. This was in 2008 not too long after […]
Yup, that’s right. Today’s jigsaw puzzle is a mystery puzzle. Your only clue is the word “musicians.” Sorry, no sound with this one. I couldn’t find anything to go with it. Put on your favorite music to listen to while you work the puzzle, and have fun with it.
I finally got my eyes uncrossed after working today’s jigsaw puzzle. Mirror images sometimes do this to me. It is a bit of a challenge, but the subject of the woman after her bath touching her reflection make it fun, too. Now, if I can only remember which side of the mirror I’m supposed to […]
Why does a jigsaw puzzle called “The Harvest” sound like the title of a Stephen King book? I mean, I thought “Children of the Corn” was about a bunch of farmer’s kids growing up. Boy, was I surprised! Still, it is a nice picture, so ignore the scary parts and enjoy the puzzle.
I used to drive an Impala, years ago. It was a nice car. I always thought that the word “impala” was somehow related to the word “impact” as in what happens when you hit something with your car. I finally figured out it was an animal that looks a lot like a deer. Silly me. […]
I haven’t done an abstract jigsaw puzzle in a while, and my friend Maggie, whom we call “Magpie,” (long story) asked me to do one. Magpie also likes tough jigsaw puzzles, so there is an extra version today, the extreme version. It has the same number of pieces as the tough version, but the pieces […]
