I made an impulse purchase today...this jigsaw puzzle, from Costco. When my mom was alive, we did a lot of puzzles, but 300 piece puzzles, not 1000 pieces. And I enjoyed it because I got to be with her. I like them too but I'm not very good at them. I have problems seeing things in pieces & seeing a finished picture. I also can't do the puzzles where I'm supposed to find 4 teapots in a big picture. My brain just doesn't go there. But I love Vegas & this looked fun. I already missed several side pieces already & if I finish this, it'll take me a year. But...on I go.
My sister Cathy always loved Vegas too & I thought of her today as I worked on this. She was not a lucky person & would run out of money fast. "I'd play, but I don't have any money...(insert sad face)...so I'd give her half of what I had. But I was ok with that.
Mom liked going too & we always got to meet Cathy & usually her daughter Karla or some friends. Cathy's big thing was saving money on hotel rooms & she was ok with 6 or so people in one room. Um...no. I always got another room for mom & me...Cathy never understood why but I wouldn't sleep for a month with that many people around me. Always made us all laugh.
I'll post a picture if I ever finish the puzzle.
