Everyday I'm Puzzlin

I've been Puzzlin' of late.  It started in Nantucket where I tackled two.  The first puzzle was this evening seen at the North Pole.  This one only had a couple hundred pieces and was enough to stoke the fire.



After the warm-up puzzle, I started this far more complex 1000-piecer.  "For Ages 12+" my arse.  While I disagree, Ali insists that I bargained our way into an extra day in the house ONLY to get some extra time with the puzzle.  Was it needed?  Yes - I'll give her that.  BUT she was the one who wanted the extra day in the first place.  So what if we didn't do anything else with our time except work on the puzzle!?  Here I am placing the last piece.



I got another opportunity to stretch my puzzle legs in PA over Memorial Day.  This was a 500.  It was a team effort and only required a couple of hours (we took a lunch break in the middle).



In my opinion, the most difficult part of a puzzle is the act of breaking it down when you're done.  Goodbye's make me uncomfortable so I employ the practice of leaving the assembled puzzle as a gift to the homeowner.  You're welcome.
