Still doing puzzles

This puzzle was a little harder. Good thing it wasn't more pieces of I would have been in trouble. I got it all finished except for 5 pieces and they didn't fit..... since all the pieces seemed to fit but the colors didn't match.... I called on Gary for help and he and I figured out I didn't put the edge pieces in the right place. They fit but when we moved them all the pieces finally fit and matched.... I don't think I will get another Kodak puzzle for a little while although I do like the picture, don't you?
I have been doing other things besides work on puzzles, just not on the computer or watching tv as much. I did plant my tomatoes yesterday and we went shopping to pick out our new patio table and umbrella. Now we have the whole set. I wanted to get it in the beginning of summer, so we got it just in time... Leo just had it up and it started to rain... it got its first work out. The umbrella works fine so far. We also went to Krolls for lunch. Its a great place to go, we both love it and Leo always finds something he can eat. Life is good !  :)
Today I should plant a few things but I'm going to wait.... don't want to get dirty yet, LOL Looks like a rain cloud overhead anyway. I may have to start another puzzle. I have one I bought to do at Christmas time I am saving but think I will break it open... my favorite kind... its a Linda Nelson Stocks puzzle and the name of it is Fishing with Dad... very appropriate for this time of year. I may finish by fathers day. I should though as its only 550 pieces. I think its one I will glue together and maybe even frame if I can find a frame the right size.  its 24 X 18 I guess an odd measurement for a frame but I may get lucky.
hope you are having a nice day, Sandra

That puzzle is the best one yet! Too bad those Kodak puzzles are so hard to get together.

I like seeing your puzzles when you finish them.  This is so pretty with the petunias and the kitty.  You're lucky to live close to Kroll's....yummy hamburgers!  The fishing puzzle sounds neat too.  Enjoy!

I was reading about a thing you can get that you work the puzzle on and then you just roll it up in between.  I wonder if they sell those around here as that would keep the cats away most of the time.  That puzzle looks unbelieveable hard.  It looks like all the pieces are the same shape and so many alike flowers and things.  You sure are good at putting them together and that is a really cute picture.
