I can’t count the number of times that I did this puzzle as a kid. It was my favorite by far, and has seen a bit of wear and tear over the years. Note the missing pieces and those which have been glued back together. I recently found this puzzle when cleaning out boxes in my parents’ basement, and had to bring it back to life.
And I have been very pleasantly surprised to learn that Dave enjoys doing puzzles with me. As Dave says, “Of course I like doing puzzles with you. It’s something we can do together without talking all the time.”
Ok, I’ll take it.

That’s not QUITE how I put it! I simply said that one nice aspect of puzzles was that if we ran out of things to talk about or the conversation lagged, we were still spending time together.
I really enjoyed this puzzle, although knowing beforehand that at least one piece was missing added a new dimension of uncertainty when we were trying to fill gaps (am I looking for a piece that isn’t here, or am I going blind?)
