We have really been working our way through our stash of puzzles during this bout of winter weather we’ve had lately. This is a 1000 piece one that our friends Jenny & JT gave to us – actually dear, dear friends of Lindee & Jackson’s. Lindee hates a jigsaw puzzle, so they definitely didn’t want it passed on to them 🙂
I got this picture of Jeff yesterday afternoon when he started shoveling the 9″ of snow that we got off of our back deck. That is a very rare chore for him around here.
Saturday it was snowing when we got up in the morning, and snowed all day long until after dark – very, very rare for Clover, SC. There was a huge hawk lurking around the yard looking for lunch, but everything was hidden under the 9 inches we ended up getting.
I got this quick picture of Jeff when he went outside to grab our snow for snow cream and to measure our accumulation on the deck. You can see he has grocery bags on his feet – we don’t own snow boots in our neck of the woods :-).
This one was just 500 pieces, so only took Jeff & me a day or two, working together. I got it from a church friend, who gave it to me when her mother – also a dear church friend – died, so it is special to me, too.
Very thankful that Andy & Amy shared this puzzle with us when we saw them sometime recently – it kept us busy for several days while the cold and ice were keeping us in the house. St Thomas – 1000 pieces.
Adam had another church league ballgame, and this not-too-good picture is the only action shot I got that shows his face – blue #1. I’ll just have to keep trying 🙂
Jeff & I have spent a good bit of time during these recent cold days working on a jigsaw puzzle. This is his normal puzzle working stance. I do not know how his back or neck stand it, but I’ve seen him standing like this for two hours at a time to get the pieces right. To each his own, I guess – right?
We were in Rock Hill Saturday to watch Adam playing church league basketball again, and it was their first defeat of the season – by two points in overtime. It was an exciting game, needless to say. I got this picture after the game: Coach Andrew, Assistant Coach Charlie, and Adam. Fun times.
Every one of the members of the CHS Choraliers take private voice lessons all year long, and every year between their Christmas concert and their spring musical, they give a recital when every member must sing a solo. Clara sang the song “Home” from Beauty and the Beast, which is her favorite movie. It only made her grandmother a little emotional. She did such a beautiful job, and we were so proud.
Afterwards with her very, very proud grandparents.
