Puzzled?

Look what Natureman found on the game shelf... 

Oh boy, an unopened puzzle from who knows when. I think I was hiding it intentionally because it has 1,000 pieces. 
But it's open now and will probably keep us busy into the New Year.  Natureman even brought in an extra table to use for this wintertime endeavor.

Day 1 wasn't super productive as we flipped over all the pieces and separated out the border pieces and assembled them.

Day 1- 2 pieces hiding from the border?

Not a whole heck of a lot of progress made on day 2 either...

Sky is completed but not much else.

Doing puzzles brings back memories of 20 years of winter vacations in Ft. Myers, Florida where in between pool time and excursions, I'd walk over to the club house, bring back books to read and puzzles to do.  When Aunt Bert (now 98) would visit at the same time, I loved working on those puzzles with her. Her eyesight's failing now but she's still living in her own home and still as sharp as a tack.  'Puzzling' how  memories are sparked by just working on a puzzle some 20 years later in the End of the Rainbow Valley in the cold of winter...
