What’s summer without horseshoes, grass, and wild flowers? It reminds me of growing up in Washington.
We bought a big metal bin the other day and planted flowers in it. I like how it looks.
It’s rainy again today, but that’s okay as I have many things I could do inside. I took this picture on a walk the other day. I love how green it is here so I guess I’ll need to learn to appreciate the rain and the fog.
1000 piece Terra puzzle by Educa puzzles. I’ve already done this one before but needed to do it again so I could figure out which one I was missing.
Sorry India.
I miss Midnight. I’m contemplating getting another cat this summer. I don’t want to do it until after the honeymoon as it would be mean to get one and then leave it for 3-4 weeks.
The keg I chose for the wedding. I really enjoyed it while at the Alaskan Brewery, but it doesn’t come bottled and was set to be switched out 2 days after we were there. So, we bought a small keg for the wedding.
Well I’ve finished the first puzzle and have requested a new piece. I’ll let you know how that goes. This is the 1000 piece Mizrah puzzle from Pomegranate puzzles. The only problem with redoing a puzzle is that I finish them too fast. This one took a day and I didn’t work all day on it.
UPDATE: I received the missing puzzle piece in the mail yesterday (June 29th). That was fast. I am impressed with Pomegranate’s customer service, which makes me doubly happy since I love the quality of their puzzles. I was worried at first because the envelope arrived with a corner ripped, so I was sure it had fallen out but the people at Pomegranate thought of that and put it in another envelope inside with a neat card as well. Man I like this company! Too bad they aren’t in Alaska, wouldn’t it be a great job to put together puzzles and get paid. I’ll keep dreaming.
I couldn’t find a single adapter to help my Hong Kong plug fit into an American socket so I had to go from Hong Kong to a Chinese adapter to a North American one. I love that my phone charger says safety.
I just found a great site that lays out how to get missing puzzle pieces for many jigsaw puzzle companies: http://reviews.ebay.com/Help-With-Missing-Puzzle-Pieces_W0QQugidZ10000000005446010
Unfortunately the two puzzles I needed pieces for weren’t on there, but I went to the Educa official website/lost piece http://www.educa.es/eng/consumer_care/gestion_5.php and found that if you puzzle is part of the missing piece program then you can apply to get the piece in the mail. I also went to the Pomegranate puzzle website and found out that I had to have a receipt and apply within a year. I didn’t have either so I emailed the company and they were kind of enough to let me send in my info anyway and if they have the puzzle still I can get my missing piece.
Here’s my only problem. I put both these puzzles together awhile ago and don’t know which piece is missing so I need to put them both together ASAP. So, I better get on it. I want to have those missing pieces otherwise these puzzles are worthless. I wouldn’t even want to give them away. That would be spreading disappointment.
Jordan went to day camp today and I didn’t know what to do with myself, so I finished this puzzle. It was 1000 pieces. I love this style of Americana paintings right now. Probably because my last year in China all I wanted to do was to come home.
