I apologize for Saturday’s jigsaw puzzles being so late. There is a problem with a router on the Internet that my traffic goes through to reach my server that is having problems. The issue is that I can’t upload anything faster than an old 300 baud modem. (Remember dial up modems?) I have isolated the […]
My friends Brenda and Thomas went to Hawaii for vacation a couple of years ago, and they shared some pictures they took with me. Today’s jigsaw puzzle is one of them. It is of a small hut in a park. The little yellow sign says “Warning. Flash flooding could occur at any time.” They do […]
With winter finally over (except for the mild snowstorm that will be here in the next week or so) it’s time for some summer fun. Swimming is always fun, unless the water is really cold. Actually, you can burn more calories just floating in cold water than you can jogging. Calories are a measure of […]
Honey, where did we leave the bottle of wine? I’m not sure. Check the living room. she replied. I did, I said. It’s not there. Did you check out by the pool? she asked. We don’t have a pool! Oops, she said. I must have been thinking about the wine I had with Bob the […]
By William-Adolphe Bouguereau It’s time for another classical painting for our daily jigsaw puzzle, and again, this one is by one of my favorite artists, William-Adolphe Bouguereau. Two young girls out in the woods gathering nuts, and it was completed in 1882. Once again, there is an extreme version, where the pieces rotate. Make sure […]
I like reading fiction, but I wonder who came up with this student’s room. It’s too clean – a real work of fiction. In the real world, it would look like the the local dump about ten minutes after a teenager moved in. I should know, I’ve raised a whole herd of them. Sigh. If […]
I had a hard time figuring out what picture to use for today’s jigsaw puzzle. The fact that it’s New Year’s Eve didn’t help any. I thought about doing something with “2011” in it, but I’ve done those kinds several times on New Year’s eve already. In fact, last year’s was a chalkboard on a […]
Meet Chipbert. He’s a curious chipmunk. He lives in a tree, and works in the forest gathering nuts. He likes shiny objects, like the camera. I think he’s part pig because of the way he eats and the way he hams it up for the camera. He makes a better jigsaw puzzle than a jigsaw […]
Just because I felt like it, for Wednesday we have two jigsaw puzzles for your entertainment and aggravation needs. The first is a kind of abstract starburst, and the second is a close up of the insides of a piano. I liked the starburst because it was pretty, and for the piano, well, in my […]
I knew a girl named Sarah once, years ago when I was in college. Like the Sarah of this picture, she was blond and pretty. Her father ran the local Radio Shack. The big topic we had in our discussions was the latest calculators. Yup, back in the stone age. I decided to make this […]
Sunday’s Free Daily Jigsaw Puzzle I once got lost in a small town overseas. I was walking around playing tourist, when I realized it was time to get back to the ship. The problem was, the lanes were small and twisted in places like a pretzel. I was lost! One lane looked a lot like […]
Here in the USA for many of us, along with people in other countries, it’s Christmas Day. Christmas has different meanings for different people. For me, it is a time to reflect and remember, and to hope for peace throughout the world. What does Christmas mean to you?
Today’s jigsaw puzzle contains several puzzles in the image itself. From Anne, who created the image: There are three puzzles in this image: 1. What do the letters spell? 2. What is the sum of the tombola pieces? 3. Which side lost the chess game? (hint: the answer isn’t on the board) Thank you Anne, […]
Some of the houses in the neighborhood are getting done up nicely for the holidays. Me? I swapped out the bug light on the front porch with a green bulb. Ho ho ho. Anyway, today’s jigsaw puzzle is of a decorated house. Enjoy!
This photograph is by Böhringer Friedrich. His comments about the costumes worn in the picture: “The characteristics of the female costume Bregenzerwald are: the silver buckle, the “Bleotz” chest part, which is elaborately embroidered with gold silver is in the “Keadoro”, an elaborately embroidered gold silver decorative stripes on the back and the different hats.” […]
Tuesday’s Mystery Jigsaw Puzzle It’s been a while since I did a Mystery jigsaw puzzle, so I picked a place far, far away. Bobbio, Italy. Bobbio is a coveted tourist destination known for its art and culture of years past. The Abbey there was used in the story “The Name Of The Rose” which was […]
Tangerine? Bob asked? No, Tajine! I replied. Oh, like that thing people without talent play on stage in the ninth grade? No, Bob. That’s a tambourine. I replied. Tajine. It’s a dish from Morroco. Well, Bob asked, What does it taste like? At that point I decided to refer him to the Moroccan Tajine page, […]
Sunday’s Jigsaw Puzzle This painting, by William-Adolphe Bouguereau, is of a young lady sitting by a brook, with flowers in her hair. The amazing thing about this painting is that it looks like a photograph. His paintings are well known for their photo-realism. He did a wide range of subjects, and is one of my […]
Out in the woods somewhere, away from civilization, is an old, small cabin with stone walls and a chimney. The nearest neighbor is a mile away, and a hand pump out back has replaced the well and bucket on a rope that was previously used for water. Sometimes deer come right up to the door […]
Friday’s Daily Jigsaw Puzzle Having visited Hong Kong a number of times, I know the nice, quiet view you get from one of these piers late at night while waiting on a boat to take you to wherever you are going. In my case, it was back to the ship I was stationed on. Hong […]
