Perplex, Mystify, Bewilder, Confound

Something, such as a game, toy, or problem, that requires ingenuity and often persistence in solving or assembling.

It's a riddle. Have you figured it out yet? The answer is: PUZZLE. I love puzzles. All shapes, sizes, colors, putting them together alone or with a friend, landscapes, photos, art pieces, ect. During the holiday break I put together the total of 6 puzzles. My grandma has a large collections of puzzles and I went to her to see if I could borrow any and these are the ones that I completed.


I couldn't contain myself I was extremely excited to get started on this M*A*S*H puzzle. This 250 piece beauty only took me about 3 hours (or 3 Bones episodes and 1 Big Bang Theory) to complete.
Next, I tore into a retro puzzle for kids and teens in the late sixties. This presented a challenge because some of the pieces were the exact shade of green. The fun part was that all of the pieces had different shapes. And, yes, that is a piece missing. (I don't think it was me who lost it.)

This one was the hardest out of all of them. It was a great challenge. I have always loved Norman Rockwell's artwork. His paintings really are worth a thousand words and more. This 500 piece took me a total of about 5.5 to 6 hours to finish. That's 3 full length movies plus some special features or 4 Bones episodes plus commercials.

Someday when they create a job that all you do is puzzles all day long and get paid to do it, I will be the first in line for that job.
