When we used to do jigsaw puzzles in our home ...

... Sue'd put in about nine pieces ...

... and I'd put in about one!

And we parted over 40 years ago.

Don't remember whether we did 'em with the kids joining in.

Shelgal some of the puzzles I bought at Wal-Mart. Others I have got as gifts or found at garage sales or rummage sales.
I can't believe the price of puzzles now. I can remember buying them for under a dollar as a child.

I think that sometimes they have them at GoodWill, Value Village and some of the social agencies that have used goods for sale.

No guarantees to have no pieces missing, though.

KIttywhiskers. Maybe you should try to put the puzzles together like a gentleman from ND that I had read a story about one time. He started in the upper left hand corner and put the rows together one by one. He just looked for the next piece in the row and no others. He didn't even put the frame together. I think it would have taken him a long time to finish one though.

bengardening it would take me forever to finish a puzzle if I did that. Sounds like a challenging way to do a puzzle. LOL

After my stroke, when I was home, doctors told me to do jigsaws to sharpen my brain. Hubby went out to a toy store and bought me a bunch.
