Here is my first Fall puzzle and it was a doozey! I bought it at Union Gospel Mission Thrift store in Spokane for $5.
I’ve been working on it for a couple weeks.
Hooray! No missing pieces. I finished this up on Monday before JJ arrived for his afternoon at Baba and Gramps.
JJ lost his first tooth on Monday morning so we had to document that! It’s a little harder to bite into his snacks. This boy loves snacks.
Out for a trek to the mailbox with Gramps.
G.I. Joe with Gramps. The same G.I. Joe show his dad and uncle watched when they were boys. I remembered and mentioned to JJ that I thought his dad or uncle had their old G.I. Joe sleeping bag. JJ wanted me to call Uncle Joshie to see if he still had it. I said I would text instead. Then JJ added that if he still had it he could maybe bring it at Thanksgiving. Later that evening we got this photo with Uncle Joshie’s answer.
Yes! He will bring it at Thanksgiving!
Before we knew it, Jamie and Addy got back from Irish Dance to collect JJ. Addy always wants a rundown of all the snacks JJ had while she was at Dance.
Thankful in this season of thankfulness for the opportunity to spend time with our grandchildren and that we live in the same town.

Fun times with JJ! Great photos!
Take care, enjoy your day!
We clearly share the same fun Mondays with our grandchildren. And we’re called BarBar and Grumps lol!
…putting a puzzle together isn’t my idea of fun!
That was quite a puzzle! Glad you persevered …and that all of the pieces were there.
Love that Addy wanted a run-down of all the snacks that JJ had when she got back. 🙂
My brothers had a lot of G.I. Joe things…I wonder if they still have any of them?
Yes, my friend, you are blessed to live in the same town as your grandchildren. What a blessing.
That puzzle!! Looks really hard so good for you for finishing. I finished one yesterday my m-i-l and I started while she was here. Someone had given it to her and it ended up being minus three pieces. ugh. We worked a pretty fall puzzle while she was in town and I’m going to get a Christmas puzzle to have here next. My 8-year old grandson is good with puzzles and likes helping so will be fun to have one out.
First of all, that puzzle looks so difficult! Good job!! Your grandkids are so cute. I love that your son still has his GI Joe sleeping bag – awesome for JJ!
Wow, you’re not kidding about the difficulty of that puzzle!
I smiled at your last comment about snacks. In my first foray into kids’ activities when I visited cousin on Whidbey, we watched a couple of football games (midget and peewee) while the girls cheered. Everyone got individual bag of snacks at halftime.
You will have much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving included the vintage sleeping bag!!❤️
Wow, you finished the puzzle. Way to go! Cute picture with his tooth that fell out. I like them going to the mailbox too. That sleeping bag is so cool. Yes, it is wonderful that you get to spend time with them. Memories they will never forget.
Yes, living in the same town as grandchildren is a true blessing! We have three of our four here now.
That puzzle was a challenge. Well done! Willow
That puzzle looks quite the challenge!!!
We started our first puzzle of the season. Worked on it a little today.
Now that is a puzzle I could get interested in! All the WORDS and QUOTES, the Shakespearean LANGUAGE. Wow 🙂
Bekah has a similar puzzle but with Jane Austen quotes. We enjoyed putting it together!
What a fun afternoon with JJ! I’ll bet he was thrilled to learn about that sleeping bag! I smiled thinking of Addy wanting to hear what snacks her brother had while she was at class. 🙂
