i usually try to call dad around 11 am or so because i know he will probably be up and about. yesterday i called and he was very upbeat. talking about the beautiful day and all that he had to do.
he was bragging about almost finishing the last puzzle he has been working on.
it was a fall scene, a folk-art type of picture.
it was 550 pieces, which is quite large, but there were lots of "little" puzzles within the big picture.
the puzzles have been a wonderful thing for him.
he really enjoys them and he says his mind is the clearest when he works on them.
he feels a sense of accomplishment too i think.
and having a puzzle on the table gives our 15 year old daughter something to do when we go visit, i think she really loves it in fact!
the first few puzzles we bought at walmart or target but they were very expensive.
i discovered that the dollar tree and micheal's have a good selection of puzzles as well.
and i can usually find a micheal's coupon for 40 or 50% off!
dad did talk about moving back to his house if it doesn't sell soon.
so i just told him he would miss me too much and i would miss him.
