While in Texas my sister and I enjoyed puzzle time. This was the first puzzle we completed and it was the first puzzle with letter codes on the back of the pieces to determine what section of the puzzle the pieces belonged in. We found it very helpful especially with the black areas.
I always appreciate a puzzle company that includes a poster.
The second puzzle we started and didn’t finish before I left Texas was a very tough one without codes and with so many similar color themes. It caused quite a lot of grumbling but still nice to find those pieces that fit together. My sister sent a photo of the almost finished puzzle she’s progressed on since I left.
It was fun to work on these puzzles with Lana.
Meanwhile here in Colville we are in mud season.
JJ enjoyed that mud.
Addy had an Irish Dance performance while we were gone and we were sent a photo of her before her performance.
On Friday the weather was good enough to do some work outside. I finally got to a couple planters, only about 5 more planters to go.
Have a great Saturday everyone!

That really is a beautiful puzzle. Just catching up with your blog. B x
Hi Barbara, Hope all is well on your island!
Happy Saturday to you all Ellen! Delightful photos and especially enjoyed your grandchildren. All the mud made me chuckle and then an awww for the pretty outfit. Both precious children!
Thank you so much, Denise. We truly are in mud season here! š
…someone has lost her front teeth.
You are right, Tom. Maybe she’ll have those filled in by Christmas! š
I love puzzles. I’ve never seen one with codes…how cool would that be. Both puzzles are beautiful and I tool like the posters…they are a big help to me.
Cathy, we really did appreciate those codes. Have a great weekend!
Both of those puzzles are pretty! I have never seen a puzzle with codes. I’ll bet that would come in handy for those plain background pieces! Puzzle time is great “together” time, I think. Fun to get such cute shots from home while you were away!
Cheryl, it is a good together time. Happy weekend to you!
I love the puzzle pictures. Cute photos of the kiddies!
Have a great weekend.
The first puzzle is so pretty. Mud season! Fun season!
Those are beautiful and very challenging. That’s interesting about the codes Sweet photos of the children. Enjoy your weekend.
Oh, I like the looks of those. When we’ve had swaths of single color areas, we organize the pieces by shape and muddle along.
