My Wife's Traditional Annual Birthday Jigsaw Puzzle, Update: Finished Puzzle Post 21
My wife likes jigsaw puzzles. For her Birthday I ordered her a custom picture puzzle. It's a picture of an old railway station turned museum that's between the end of the C&O Canal Towpath and the start of the GAP Trail. Her Birthday's not until the 14th but we make it a tradition to celebrate each others Birthday the entire month.

Well, Happy Birthday Month to Mrs. Snubby!
It looks as if she has a system for doing these puzzles...like putting similar-in-color pieces into their individual containers for a start?
Of all the puzzles you've given her over the years, I'm betting you were the easiest puzzle of all for her to figure out. You seem very happy together.

Mom likes to do puzzles as well. I have seen some with no edges and extra pieces but I value my health too much to even think about it.

Happy Birthday. Our Wives need to meet and do puzzles. She and all her Sisters are "nuts" they will sit around and do these monster puzzles, I am lucky to find one piece. Guess being up North they got the game playing genetics from the Winter. They can go for hours!

I cannot tell if that is a Spyderco Delica 4 or Endura 4 your wife used to open that package with. I own both myself and approve of your knife selection. I do not have either with the saber ground plain edge though. I'm partial to the saber ground combo edge, but like them all. Neat puzzle too.

Yer a good man/husband mi amigo. Keep her busy solving puzzles. If I may and if I remember? ill send you one of my photo cds with much of my movie stills collection on it-might give you ideas for the next go round. Most are b&w--which would make solving the puzzle harder I believe?
PS, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MRS. SNUBBY.

Don't take much to figure me out, what you see is what you get.

It's the craziest thing. My wife has no patience but she can sit and puzzle for hours.
Speaking of monster puzzles. This one's a 3000 piece she finished. I had to stand on a chair and use a fish eye lens to get a picture of it.

Thanks but I can't use any copyrighted images.
The thing that makes them special is they're pictures I've taken of places we've been.

Nope just the one.
We did have a box of them and when we set up a vendors table at an area summer festival they sold out quickly.
I do try to get it in my videos just for fun.

Welcome-and some of the images have no copyright to them. Those are the original snapshots and one from 1924--which was a documentary still.

Happy Birthday, Mrs. Snubbyfan, and many more like them. I really like that knife you've snagged, too. My only Spyderco is a little smaller than yours.
