I use to love puzzles. Haven’t done any in quite a while.
I had a good friend and she kept a card table set up in her kitchen (in an out of the way place) and she kept a puzzle on it all the time that she was working. She did love them. My precious friend passed away and left me. She had diabetes since her 20’s and developed heart disease. I still miss her. I could write a book about her goodness.

Maybe I will have to get back into puzzles....when will I have time. I would have to give up the computer...LOL~~~~

Sorry about your friend. :(

We don’t do many puzzles anymore either. No time, seems like. We had a hard time leaving them out—too small house/too many people and animals. We were always losing pieces. I got two huge pieces of plexiglass at Lowes. Ran magnetic tape around the outside edges of both pieces. We worked the puzzle on one sheet of plexiglass. When we were ready to put the puzzle up we just laid the other piece on top. Magnetic tape stuck together and we could slide the whole thing under the couch or a bed or something and not have to worry about pieces getting lost. :)
