Well, this post is a little late but… another 2010 goal (5000 puzzle pieces) was achieved! I started the vintage puzzle but couldn’t finish it due to my allergies kicking up. I’m allergic to some cats and apparently the previous owner of that puzzle had such a cat. The final 1000 pieces were completed using a couple…
NOTE- this post was originally published on my other blog, EnjoyTimeOutdoors.com, on 14November2010. —- The third jigsaw puzzle for 2010 is complete! This brings the progress towards the 2010 goal to 3000 pieces. This puzzle was started back in March and sat idle for most of the summer and early fall. Thanks to Lisa’s continued…
With Christmas and the new year quickly approaching we finally finished the fourth puzzle of 2010. Though I’ll count this puzzle as 1000 of the 2010- 5000 piece goal, the completed puzzle consisted of only 999 pieces. This was likely the result of kitty’s help.

Actually, Lisa did the majority of this puzzle. This puzzle is MasterPieces Puzzle Company’s “Besides Still Waters”, #70911. A painting by Kim Norlien. I purchased…
As I mentioned in my last post, one of my 2010 goals is to complete 5000 jigsaw puzzle pieces in 2010. Last week my step daughter Lisa and I began working on a Ceaco Jigsaw Puzzle she gave me for Christmas. Today we finished it. It was the “Trump’s General Store ” puzzle from the “Joan Steiner’s Can You Find” series. We estimate that it…
On the surface it may appear that working on puzzles is just an old fashioned waste of time. Much to my surprise I’ve found it to be an extremely relaxing and thought provoking experience.

In this fast-paced, technology driven world I’ve recently re-discovered the enjoyment of putting together jigsaw puzzles. During a recent visit to Walmart, I picked up a couple of 1000 piece puzzles.
