I love that one!! I uses to enjoy super-intense puzzles before the world became so hard. Now I want fun ones that challenge but are fun and have happy themes. Here’s a recent 1,000-piecer (hubs trying to get a taste):

What was the last historical site you visited—and how long ago?
I’m in a Facebook group for Colonial Williamsburg fans, and there are complaints about additional costs and the reduction of services. Some say it’s due to smaller crowds.
Are smaller crowds an issue for all historic sites now?

I’m going to immediately block any male whose first photo is himself shirtless. It seems to display a tinge of a narcissistic bent, no?

Jigsaw puzzles, I’ve gone back to them in several stressful periods of my life. My husband has gotten into since the pandemic. We pick 1,000-pieces that are challenging but not crazy annoying. Takes the mind away from the mess.
