It has been way too long since I have written a post. Not so much because nothing has happened but more so because EVERYTHING has happened. Most notably we sold our nice big house and downsized to a small townhouse in Novemeber. The plan was to use this as an economical base during the college years and spend a lot of time hiking, camping and backpacking. Well- the joke's on us. Little did we know our daughter would return home early from college and who knows when the nest will be empty. But at least we have a mortgage free place to live, even if it is a little small, it takes some financial pressure off and leaves us with some money for Airbnbs when it gets to cramped.
The start of the Covid Life was pretty scary. My sister was one of the first to get it from community spread while working in a nursing home. She was very sick and this was a personal and impactful intro to our "new normal" and what we had to fear. Then I was busy wrapping up an online school year and doing a lot of cooking now that everyone is home 24/7. But just last week I had a bit of downtown and completed three 1000 piece puzzles in one week. It made me wonder how others tackle the fun of a puzzle. Here is my gameplan:
 |
| 1. Sort and complete edges first and roughly sort remaining pieces by color |
 |
| 2. Once there are not too many pieces left, sort by color and then by shape |
 |
| Completed puzzle :) |
