No Surprise Yet

 I thought I was going to have a surprise for you, but we all have to wait one more day.

Meanwhile, I did a lot of editing, Om and I went to see Homestead. And I finished a puzzle I started yesterday. It's a Thomas Kinkade painting. I don't know which one.

Here's the deal. Cathy gave it to me in a baggie because she doesn't like puzzles where the corners don't meet. (I guess someone gave it to her this way) I didn't know what it was a picture of, whether it was horizontal or vertical- anything. I make it a practice to not look at the picture while I'm doing the puzzle, but rarely do I start with absolutely no idea what it is! Well... I could tell there was sky and a building and some green stuff and dark stuff. The lighthouse was easily assembled. But it was a little bit challenging to decide where the rocks went. And then the sky had to be done pretty much by the shape of the pieces. Fun.

And the Homestead movie? It was good. It doesn't oversimplify the issues. It also does not wrap everything up into a neat package at the end. It's basically a pilot for what is a start-up series on Angel Studio streaming services.

It would be a very good movie to springboard some group discussions of ethics in situations like the one portrayed.

That's a nice puzzle. How fun to watch it reveal what it is as you went along.
