Spectrum just left and I have everything registered now so I can join you all and interact, post, and comment like normal.
The advantage to having him here for an hour and a half is that I have more of my puzzle finished. I'm ready to start work on the inside of the puzzle now. I separated out the next batch of pieces to work on in the center, coming down from the top to the bottom. I expect the inside will go faster than the border areas did. There are still pieces eluding me, but I know they're there.
He was scheduled to be here between 12 and 1. Church started at 10 this morning for the joint service, and I left at 11:30 with plenty of time to get home before he got here. That is IF there wasn't anything hindering my progress, like a boat going through the bridge I needed to cross. I got home and the phone rang letting me know he was on his way. I got here about two minutes before he did. Timing.
So that was my day so far. Now to interact with you, find something to eat, and also play my game at the same time. I love multitasking.
How is your Sunday turning out? I hope it's a nice day for you. Here the sun is shining and I didn't need a jacket for church. The trees are also in full bloom. Spring is definitely here.
Thanks for reading.

Well i'm glad you made it back in time for the spectrum guy to arrive. I love doing puzzles I haven't put one together in a long time. I just don't have a long enough table to do one on. I mostly just do adult coloring books now or read a book when i am bored. My Sunday was ok i watched movies, did laundry then had bowling night.

@just4him awesome. I don't have many puzzles here so it's ok if i don't do them. I do kid puzzles with my nieces though those are fun

Sounds like a good day. I had to bring that table out of the closet so it would be wide enough to do the puzzle. The table itself is one I bought for Thanksgiving and seats 8. I also do adult coloring books. They're a lot of fun, and yes, I read as well as write.

Is Spectrum your cable company? It's been a nice Sunday here. Sunny and blue skies. Just rather windy.

Looks like you will have that puzzle finished in no time. The trees are all blooming here too, and it is nice to see.

I don't know about that. It took a month to get it this far. It's a good challenge though.

It was. I've been working on it for over a month now. It's a Christmas manger scene. The center should go faster with the people and animals. We'll see.

When my mom was alive there was always a jig saw puzzle going on in our sun room. We grew up doing puzzles and the harder the better. I continued after my children were born, . I still enjoy a good puzzle but use the internet now.

It's a manger scene. I got it for Christmas this past year from my younger son and his girlfriend. It's a good 1000 piece challenge. We were cooler this morning, but supposed to warm up to the 60's. I'm sure it feels good to be outside.

Wow! It must be warmer for you in WI than it is here.... happy to hear it though. Spring can't come soon enough as far as I'm concerned. That puzzle looks nice!

That was yesterday. I went to the pool with my winter jacket on this morning. Thanks. I'm having fun with the puzzle.

I never look forward to summer. We can just bypass summer and go straight to fall and winter. I don't handle heat very well.

Now I get it they are an Internet Provider right?
They work on a Sunday here also but only to repair if your line is down so that is lucky you got him to fix it all up.
Spring is here too and so are the pesky mosquitoes never mind.

Today they have all scarpered as its freezing cold and is going to be for two days more which I relish and with gusto.
Woohoo.
Thought it might be your Internet Provider as I have heard them mentioned before but was not sure altogether.
Ours is Movistar and Jazztel and Ono.

@lovinangelsinstead21 I only have two options available to me - Spectrum and AT&T. I just got rid of AT&T, but the phone number needs to be retrieved.
I'm glad they are in hiding for a few days. Insects, mosquitoes in particular, is one of the reasons I dislike summer. The heat is the main reason.

@just4him - When you are a writer, it is healthy to have a project which distracts you for a little while and gives your mind a chance to rest.

@DeborahDiane Yes it is. I just opened up Freedom's Cry to start the editing process.

@DeborahDiane Thanks. It's coming along slowly. I spend more time on the computer than I do on the puzzle, but I do work on it when I watch TV.
