Anna Ruth and I put together a 1,500 piece puzzle – a sea-shore collection of ocean shells.  The puzzle was a Christmas gift from Paul and Tammy family.  We enjoyed the challenge because the pieces were not at all regular, had to figure each one out. Now, off to whoever welcomes a challenge!  Our dining room table is just right for large puzzle like this.  But we are looking forward to a family gathering in a week or so.  The timing was just fine.
