Default Picture Puzzles

Picture puzzles,
puzzles,
jigsaw puzzles...
what ever you choose to call them,
make great fun for connecting generations.

My elderly mother always has a picture puzzle going
on a card table in their livingroom.
There are also public rooms w/ very difficult puzzles
or easier multipiece puzzles 3 - 5 all at the same time.

When the grandkids or young great grandkids come to visit,
there are several large piece and easy puzzles that grandma
pulls out to enjoy.

It is an activity that is low impact for the elderly,
yet an enjoyable time to visit with the younger generations.
Makes for good memories.

My uncle was like that. And I did some great jigsaw puzzles with my dad.

But I am the one who always loses the pieces and Catzilla likes to eat cardboard.

It's a great thing to have out in a comfortable home when people come to visit.

I enjoy finishing a puzzle, have you ever heard of a Wasgij? (I think that's how its spelt) Its a different kind of puzzle- a jigsaw backwards. Quite challenging but still fun!
