Life is a puzzle.

If you can think of something to talk about that is not related to knives, discuss it here.

My mother was very fond of picture puzzles - usually the kind that had over a thousand to pieces. As long as I can remember she had one in progress, laid out on a table. She sometimes took days or weeks to finish one, working on them a few minutes or a few hours daily depending on what else was going on at the time. Visitors were welcome to help, especially children and then later, grandchildren. When she finished one she’d leave it lay for a few days, then put it all back into the box and donate it either to the local library or nursing home. Then she would start another one. It made it easy to shop for her birthday or Christmas - a new puzzle was always welcome, even one she had worked previously.

Thanks for posting that website, Olde Cutler. ::tu:: I enjoy jigsaw puzzles, but tend to become obsessive when I start one and end up with all kinds of aches and pains from bending over the kitchen table for hours on end. Here are 4 I have done this winter. All 1,000 piece except the birds (750).

We have many of Charles Wysockis puzzles, and a few of the cats. They are my favorites. He also had a brother that did puzzle art who went under the name Heronim

I kind of like that style, like the beer label one above. Kind of mini puzzles within a puzzle. lol
