One of my destinations this holiday weekend was today's barbecue at my parents house. In addition to the usual faces, foods, and games, my mother actually had a puzzle out. It's been a long time since i did one. My grandmother used to really enjoy puzzles and my sister, mother, and i would often spend hours at her house working on them. Busha only liked Springbok puzzles; the pieces of other puzzles just weren't up to par.
When i got there, only a handful of pieces were out of place in the showcone scene. After we finished that, we had so much fun we decide to start another, a circular puzzle full of hors d'oeuvres. It had just over 500 pieces but those present we able to finish it well before the gathering was over.
Speaking of puzzles, my sister called me to let me know she found a new book of pixel puzzles. They also go by the name griddlers or nonograms. I think we bought all the ones you could from Amazon so she was happy when she found an alternate source. If you've never tried one before, they are really fun. Do one now.
