These wasn't much to do for more than a week as we weren't allowed to leave the ship and it was actually pretty fun. I like the one you are working on as I want to learn more about the national parks.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15560174541687304565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-62331248045224686352016-03-02T06:21:55.227-05:002016-03-02T06:21:55.227-05:00I used to love jigsaw puzzles.

The more challenging the better. :)<br />I have a love hate relationship with Amazon. There are so many things about it that are wonderful and easy for the consumer, and their customer service is great. But the size of it is concerning. <br />A travel bucket list for the writing challenge sounds like a great idea. My mind is already going through the alphabet with mine.

For me it was an utter failure, I simply do not have the patience to sit down and sort through thousands of small puzzle pieces. It's sort of weird though, I usually get into those Zen-like activities that let my mind and body uncouple from each other. <br /><br />I'll have to look at the A to Z blogging challenge.

I liked having them on the dining room table and preferred spending 15 to 30 minutes or so working on them and going on to something else. That's my personality vs. his. So I stopped doing them, but just recently acquired a good puzzle as a pass along gift. You have inspired me to get it out now.<br /><br />I did that A to Z Challenge a few years ago and enjoyed it - having three good things that started with the letter of the day. I was not the only member who thought of using "Zee end!" for Z. :)Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13984802196897920610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-84324030253817190222016-02-23T10:10:35.933-05:002016-02-23T10:10:35.933-05:00Thanks for the confidence, Michael.
