Indoor Activity and Out-of-Town Visitors

Weather at the end of March and beginning of April continued to be rainy.  That's one reason we managed to complete four more jigsaw puzzles.

We're so into this that Erick is making a special jigsaw puzzle table top with drawers to sort the pieces into.

Of course, entertaining our grandson is our favorite activity.
