Jigsaw puzzles are nostalgic for me. My parents would often set one up on a card table for the whole family to work on. They even glued, framed and hung a huge puzzle of the Grand Canyon on their living room wall. It proved to be a great conversation piece back in the 1970's.
For a few years now, I have purchased Christmas jigsaw puzzles for my own family to work on during the month of December. This year, however, I decided to do something a little different. I bought a puzzle with an autumn theme and set it up the first week of October.
I also decided to buy this and try it out...
I haven't determined if I am a fan of the Stow and Go. The puzzle pieces were hard to move around on the fabric.
It took awhile, but we eventually finished the puzzle...
Now I am trying to decide if I should purchase a new Christmas puzzle. If I do, it will definitely be Ravensburger brand, not SunsOut like the one above. This one was far too difficult, thanks to some oddly shaped pieces.

Comedians, Garbage Cans, Cable Install Men and Cody
Monday night is trash night and in case you didn't already know, Cody loves taking the garbage can out to the curb. See the following posts:
Working Hard or Hardly Working?
and
Absolute Garbage!
Last night, however, we ran into a bit of a problem. When Cody wanted his dad to help him with this "chore", there was a man installing cable at the end of our driveway, right where the trash can needed to go.
Don told Cody, "We can't take the trash out until the cable guy is out of our way." Don then went out in the backyard to water the garden. About ten minutes later, Don came back inside and Cody said, "Dad. What's Larry doing?"
Get it?
Larry...
The Cable Guy.
AKA Mater...

Make Sense of This...
American Broadcast Company Door Event Final Guy High Interest Just Keep Light Might Night Oh Pipes Queen Rather So Tease Utah Vulture Wood X-change Yes Zeebot
Have you figured this out yet? If not, let me tell you. This is how Cody use to recite the alphabet. Every single word/letter is spelled right or makes sense except X-change and Zeebot.
Oh, to be inside his brain... :)
