In Our Spare Time:

In 2023, with the advent of Ann's sister visiting us before Ann's stroke, we took some time out to work on a puzzle that I had once bought for Christmas. Never had a chance to put it together, but we did in June of 2023. It was a relaxing and enjoyable thing to do.

So several times since, we've done it again with the encouragement of Ann. I have shared some of those pictures with you on my last update. The latest puzzle picture is here to the right. Shane reallyt took to it when they were here for Christmas so he should get most of the credit. He did it in about 5 days with a little help from some of us,but he did most. It literally was an obsession with him,  but a relaxing one.

Ann bought 4 puzzles for Christmas, so we have more to do. But the strange thing is, before this puzzle, we had put together 4 of them, two of them had one piece missing. That was frustrating - which allows me to pose a question. Is this a new thing? I'm glad to do this as it works the mind; it is good for Ann to work on this as well as myself. We really like these mountain scenes, but we also like all the beautiful colors inherited in these pictures.
