I grew up in a family that is very keen on jigsaw puzzle making. When I was a kid, we used to spend a lot of time on family trips and rainy days making puzzles, and I still enjoy doing that as an adult. My friends and I actually spent part of our Memorial Day weekend in Maine bent over a jigsaw.
One of my favorite puzzle companies is White Mountain Puzzles. They make really fun, regional puzzles, challenging without being frustrating, and I love the artwork. I have several of their 1,000 piece puzzles already: the Berkshires, the American Revolution, historic Massachusetts. They definitely get my endorsement, and, if I see the brand available, I gravitate towards it.
When we were in the grocery store this past weekend, I picked up lighthouses of New England, which I was hoping to do, but we didn't get to it. I plan to start it this week as something to unwind with after work.
I love puzzling as well! My grandma and I used to do puzzles on hot summer evenings when I was a kid. I tried to do one a few years ago, but two little cats were caught stealing puzzle pieces. . .
