Walking is the perfect way of moving if you want to see into the life of things. It is the one way of freedom. If you go to a place on anything but your own feet you are taken there too fast, and miss a thousand delicate joys that were waiting for you by the wayside. Elizabeth von Arnim

ABC Friday and a puzzle

Still not walking and I'm not liking that much.

We finished the Christmas puzzle yesterday. ๐Ÿงฉ
It was a bit challenging but not too hard to be fun to do.





We always turn it over when we finish and write something on the back.
David had the idea that we each draw something on the back and
make our own puzzle.
So that's what we did.
David drew the doodle on the left.
Ken drew a clown getting out of prison on the right.
He has no idea where that idea came from.๐Ÿ™‚


 I drew the little house scene that looks like a third grader drew it. ๐Ÿ™‚
As you can see I have no drawing ability.
But it was fun to do and we laughed a lot.


It's a dreary day out there today so we are enjoying the day at home.
๐ŸงถFinished the mittens for Edd but haven't posted them on my other blog yet.
Perhaps I'll do that later.

Reading a good book,
The Lost Ticket.

MY ABC'S

Sometimes pictures, sometimes just words but it will be something about me.

N is for Notebook

When I was in high school I had a notebook
that I would write sayings and things in it that meant something to me.
I filled the whole notebook up.
I still have the notebook and is it fun to go back and read it.



Thanks for stopping by.
Hope you had a wonderful day.

Dear Karen, I love the artwork that you, Ken and David did! Wonderful! I love your jigsaw puzzles as well.
I understand it is frustrating for you not to be able to walk right now, but I have to say that you are finding things to do that are bringing you joy as well as others! This is fantastic!

I like the Christmas puzzle ... and the artwork that you, Ken and David did too.
You must be finding it very frustrating not to be able to walk at the moment, but your heel needs a rest and fortunately you can find other hobbies and activities that you enjoy.

All the best Jan

Love that puzzle. What a fun idea to draw pictures on the back of it.
How neat that you have that notebook still. It would be interesting to take a look back at what I was thinking all those years ago.

Hi Karen! That is so fun that you drew on the back of your puzzle! I had some notebooks and journals from high school, but right now, I'm not sure where they are. It's cool that you kept yours. I hope that you have a good weekend. See you again soon!

I sure wish I still had some of the things that I wrote in school. Like my diary (complete with a tiny lock and key). And my autograph book. The first puzzle looks like the hardest. I love all the puppies! So will you take apart the one you drew on the back and then work it?
