Only one shows up for me -- "Just finished".  Love the scene, though.

How interesting!  That must have been fun to do.

Went to visit some friends over the weekend and they had a barely-begun huge puzzle laid out on the formal dining table. Gave me a hankerin. It's been a few years.

My problem with the dang things is that I'm obsessive. Once I begin one, I pretty much don't do anything else until it's done. That's probably why I'm streaky.
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

Understand - don't know how big your friends puzzle is, but I stay with the 1000,1500 and 2000 size, and as far as obsessive -- guilty-- but it's great being retired.  Even though I work about 20 hours a week for 'mad' money, the job isn't much so it lets me do my reading, most of the time, so evenings if nothing else is going on it's puzzles.  Guess thats one of the benefit of being an old fart... ::thumbsup:: ::oldman:: -- there is tomorrow if I don't get it done today!!!!

This one I got as a gift, and surprise; it's called "Hidden Secrets".  The difference is except for the large birds and most of the flowers, everything is hidden from the picture -- 48 objects, so there was no indicators except the shapes of the puzzle pieces and the colors.

Huh.  I am surprised a fascist goon isn't in there serving papers for an illegal burning...

Must be an old puzzle.
