It may not be a big, huge fishing boat, but the one in today’s jigsaw puzzle is just the right size to catch supper in, and to relax when you don’t really fee like catching anything. There are some days you just want to be lazy and not do anything except read a good book, […]
It’s the 4th of July, and it’s a holiday here in the USA. A friend at work, one of my lesser traveled buddies, asked me if they have a 4th of July in Japan. Um, yeah. They just don’t shoot off firecrackers there on the 4th. I chose a cannon for today’s jigsaw puzzle. I […]
For Sunday’s jigsaw puzzle I chose a photograph of some salt shakers in a window sill, with the sunlight coming through the curtains. It’s not really an abstract picture, but I liked it and thought you would too. Sometimes simple pictures can be the best.
I’m not sure why the photograph in today’s jigsaw puzzle is called “Old Friend.” It’s a cart of some kind, so I imagine someone used it for many years. I guess it would be like a favorite car or truck. Anyway, it’s the weekend. Time to have some fun and relax.
We had dogwood trees when I was young. I asked why they were called “Dogwood.” I was told it was because of the bark. Try as I might, I never did hear one bark, even after I put the cat in one. Sigh. OK, today’s jigsaw puzzle might be a little bit tough. Sorry if […]
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by, And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking, And a grey mist on the sea’s face
Today’s jigsaw puzzle is a mystery. You don’t get to see the picture until you complete the puzzle. I thought the title ‘Compassion’ was appropriate considering I’m going to see Mrs. Marquis de Sade for physical torture… er… therapy – again today. She does love her work, I’ll give her that. You’ll understand the ‘compassion’ […]
For today’s jigsaw puzzle I wanted to do something a little bit different. Here is a picture of a volcanic pool that people swim in, located on the island of Sao Miguel in the Azores. It appears the islands were inhabited 2,000 years ago. The pictures I’ve seen and what I have read about them […]
Monday’s Daily Jigsaw Puzzle I always called these things “C-clamps” growing up. Now I hear they are also called “G-clamps.” Now I’m getting confused. What happened to D, E and F? Yes, I SEE the clamp, but GEE, is it clamping? Oh, the heck with it. I’ll use duct tape instead. It works better when […]
Sunday’s used to be a time when you would load the family up into the car and go for a drive. You had the time to enjoy the sites and the fresh air, and maybe wave at a neighbor or two as they sat on their front porch sipping tea. These days most houses don’t […]
I’ve owned some big cats over the years, but usually they were just fat. I’ve never owned one as big as these are in today’s jigsaw puzzle. I would hate to have to pay for their food. They look to be almost as expensive to feed as a teenager. I should know, I’ve raised my […]
It’s the weekend, and time to hop on the train and go somewhere for a little bit of fun. The view from today’s jigsaw puzzle is out the back of a train. This one is most likely somewhere in Europe. Enjoy the ride.
In all my years in the Navy, a lifeboat is something I never wanted to find myself in. Then we visited a port where there wasn’t a pier for us to pull up to, so we had to use the lifeboats to get to shore. I knew they had another purpose!
I like old buildings, and often times old, old churches are the best kept up places to explore. They often have a rich history, and are filled with paintings, carvings, sculptures, etc., much like a museum, but better. Don’t get me wrong, I love going to museums, it’s just that inside a museum everything is […]
Every so often, you come across a photograph that stands out in it’s simplicity and beauty. The photograph in today’s jigsaw puzzle jumped out as soon as I saw it. After you finish it, take a moment to enjoy the picture. Wayne
It’s Monday, and it’s time to get back to work. Not that I really quit working this weekend. There was the usual ‘honey-do’ list, my own projects, fixing things for other people, and our annual hazardous waste disposal day where the city lets you bring in all your hazardous waste for disposal. My wife still […]
Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon We could float among the stars together, you and I For we can fly we can fly Up, up and away –The Fifth Dimension
There is a reason I chose an electric guitar for Saturday’s jigsaw puzzle. A loud one. A new family moved into the house behind ours. Their son is in a band. They practice in the garage until all hours of the night. The garage that funnels all the sound my direction. It wouldn’t be so […]
Small kittens can be cute, and they can also be evil. I mean they go all cute when they want attention, but when they want to be left alone they bite. Oh, wait. I just described marriage. And kids. Especially kids. At least you won’t get in trouble for leaving your kitten at home alone […]
When I heard some friends talking about Redd Foxx, like an idiot I started talking about some of his best jokes. Wrong red fox. Boy, was I embarrassed. The red fox in today’s jigsaw puzzle is taking a little nap. Probably tired from doing his standup routine.
