As for jigsaw puzzles I think I could get 'in' to them but I leave them for Resident Chef because I know if I once started I wouldn't want to quit. He didn't do any last winter at all so hopefully he'll go back to them after Christmas. The fist thing I thought when I saw your newest puzzle was how those books are arranged in such a way as to show how a library is really a window to the world.

She was very "hard of hearing" as we said then but over the puzzle we could communicate. I am not sure if we ever put together an entire puzzle but I know that she was trying to help me get through a very hard time.
