OMG. I laughed so hard I have tears in my eyes.

Thank you for this lovely memorial to your journey Sweet Pea. You’d never guess she had such a challenging beginning & was definitely meant to find a home with you. Is there a local animal shelter/rescue (or other non-profit) we can donate to in Sweetpea’s honor?

A vertical image is a jigsaw puzzle containing a wider array of mushrooms, flowers & grass displayed in a window box style display. Each mushroom or grouping of mushroom is tucked inside its own little wooden frame inside the larger frame. The brown, white, yellow & orange mushrooms are paired with cheery yellow, white & lavender flowers.

For a 500 piece jigsaw puzzle, this was surprisingly difficult. I love the subject matter so it was fun, nonetheless. This is from The Artist’s Canvas, titled ‘Flowers & Fungi.’ Art by Sherrie Sanville. #Puzzles #jigsawpuzzle #mushrooms

I bet they think you’re the coolest. 😊

GP, our hearts are broken along with yours. Thank you for sharing her with us. I know words are inadequate, but we are holding you & Sweetpea’s spirit in our hearts. Sending love & virtual hugs.

Thank you. I’ve been blessed to travel to some wonderful places.

A buffalo with a black head, brown shoulders and silver fur on his rump ignores us and munches on tasty green shoots of grass along the road outside of Yellowstone Lodge.

A great blue heron in an irrigation ditch, his head held high searching for a snack in the water. You can see his shadow in the water. The bank behind him is covered with tall grass and reeds.

Happy World Wildlife Day! May the beauty & wonder of the natural world continue to inspire us & bring us peace.

Yay!

Well deserved. Congratulations.

I do puzzles to calm me down. Don’t give me anything that is crazy hard.

A classic scene from the 1950’s. A blue roaster sits next to red 57 Chevy style car with black door stripe & white roof. Behind that is an old style movie theater with a red marquee that says Hudson Route 66 Movie. 3 Classic motorcycles are scattered around the scene and a garage on the left has a large chrome bumper peeking out from under a partially open door. The sky is a fading sunset with blues, yellows & oranges. The only thing missing is James Dean perched on one of the motorcycles.

My latest puzzle. It was an easy 500, but a lot of fun. I need to alternate between the really hard ones and some that are much easier. This is from the Nostalgic America series, art by Greg Giordano. #jigsawpuzzles #nostalgia #route66

If they do end up needing a home, have your friend contact their nearest used/rare book dealer. They often do house calls at estates to purchase stock & can also advise on what is valuable/collectible or what should be donated.

Well aren’t you two adorable. Happy birthday & the cake looks yummy!

Thank you. I just went in and turned them all off. Be sure to also give them feedback about unhappy toy are they did that. You can find a form under ‘Contact Support.”

I can see why you thought the court house was Sleeping Beauty’s castle. All the building models were amazing.

One of the best of the best.

It was!

Well, that was efficient.

This brings me a lot of hope. Blessings on them.

It’s true. The fields are spectacular.

Most of my career was as a support staff in higher ed. Pro tip: treat your support staff with respect & kindness. They control a lot if stuff & can make things slow down or speed up. They are the gatekeepers & the producers & are critical to your success. Do I have stories…

It’s like their own little universe. Love it.

I love these little guys.

It’s interesting that such a desolate landscape can also be so beautiful.

What a fantastic cover.
