I just put the last pieces into the jigsaw puzzle I started on June 14. That is 1000 pieces. I thought I was missing 3 pieces but moved the coffee table a bit and found them on the floor. I'm posting a picture of the finished puzzle, but the colors are sort of muted and not easy to photograph. The subject of the picture is a quilting bee judging, and you can see the colorful quilts in the picture. You can click on the picture to enlarge it.
Now I 'm psyched to get another puzzle, but not right away. I don't get much done when I get engrossed in it.
I took a quick time-out to go to BelAir this morning - my sweet tooth must have been bothering me. I bought 4 chocolate eclairs (just finished one and it is all I dreamed it would be.). I also got a box of 6 mini angel food cakes. I have an abundance of strawberries, and even though I eat some every morning they won't be as good when I get to the bottom of the box. I just opened the 2nd can of whipped cream, so I see strawberry shortcake in the very near future. The whipped cream went fast because I had bought a box of apricots at Costco - probably 15 or so in the box. They were good but not as sweet as I like, so every day I cut up a couple in small pieces and drenched them with whipped cream. Sometimes I add whipped cream to my breakfast fruit bowl, but I need to get away from doing that because I doubt if I'll buy more whipped cream when I finish this. They came 3 cans to a package and I gave one to Donald. He has the same problem with gaining weight, but I'm sure Jeannie didn't give in to temptation.
I need to go to Costco later on because I ate the last of the organic grapes - a huge box, and I might get another pineapple, and some more cherries.
It's going into the mid-90's today and the hot days will hang around for a while. I haven't used the swamp cooler for several days. I'll try not to complain.
- Rain, All Day
It's a dreary day and I don't feel like going anywhere, so I haven't. I love the treadmill the more I use it (never thought that would happen) and I've managed to do some walking just about every day since I've been here. We...
- February Is Flying By!
I look at the calendar and think "It can't be the 11th of February already!" I have too much left to do in the next couple of weeks, and I spent at least an hour today working on the puzzle. I'd like to get it finished and boxed before...
- Still Working On The Puzzle
All I did today other than the puzzle was to get my hair cut. I looked like a sheep dog but it's a bit tidier now. I really dislike the way one strand of hair will curl but all the strands around it don't. The puzzle pieces...

I haven't done much of anything the past two days since I opened up that jigsaw puzzle box. I need to go to Target but decided it would be less crowded on Monday, so I'm putting it off until tomorrow. This represents two days of work...
