i love puzzles

this past weekend we traveled up north because it wasn't cold enough in minneapolis. we went to cove point lodge in beaver bay, mn about a hour north of duluth. it was beyond freezing, it was frigid with temperatures down to -15. the inside of my freezer was warmer. enough complaining, the weekend was great. we had 12 people in 2 cabins and we played scrabble, rinky dinky do (dice game), crainium, chess, and i found my new love. puzzles. not cross word or suduku, but plain old 550 piece puzzles. i bet we worked on puzzles for 3 hours+. I can't wait to retire now, not only because i won't have to work any longer, but because i can devote my time to all things puzzles. oh, and maybe i'll learn how to cook when i'm retired too.
