Puzzle: Write about putting together the pieces of puzzles.
I love puzzles!
I love puzzles!
I first started doing complicated puzzles when I was 10 years old.
My paternal grandmother lived in a nursing home, and my family would go visit every Saturday. The home had a common room full of books and puzzles, and one day there was a 250 piece Little Mermaid puzzle. That puzzle was out for the next few weekends, so I'd keep putting it together.
Given the nature of our visits, I could never complete the puzzle in one sitting, but finally I had to chance to use all of the pieces. I think someone else had put together about 75% of the pieces, and I came it to polish it off.
There were 3 pieces missing, and it drove me crazy!
Anyway, my maternal grandmother caught on that I enjoyed puzzles, so she started buying puzzles for me to do with her. We did many 500 piece puzzles together, some Disney-themed and some other adult-grownup landscapes.
When she died, I did puzzles to cope. They reminded me of my time with her.
Now puzzles are kind of my thing. It's nice that my husband will do them with me, and that little Kate loves to do puzzles with me. It's nice to know that I can share my love of puzzles with my various family members.
Anyway, puzzles are an art in some form. I love the concept of piecing things together to understand and interpret the big picture.
