Puzzled

November 12, 2007 · 7 comments

I love puzzles.

The other day, when I was helping the boys doing one of their pieces-as-big-as-their-heads puzzles on the floor, I realized it had been a loooooonnnnggg time since I had done a puzzle.  We used to do them all the time as kids – my dad even had a special “puzzle board” so we could slide it under the couch in between working on it.  The board itself was just a piece of plywood, but the putting the puzzles together was the special part.  There is something inherently soothing and  satisfying  about fitting little tiny  pieces of cardboard together to form a fabulous picture.

Today, the small boy and I found a panoramic of Times Square. It’s a wee bit difficult, but I am already enjoying the challenge.

It’s nice to rediscover good memories from childhood. Even nicer to enjoy them later in life.
