Today, Marie and I did our last jigsaw puzzle for a while. This one is called Morning Stop, and it was a lot of fun. Also 300 pieces, and it took 1 hr and 15 min. Tomorrow we head for the Adirondacks!
I'm going to fill in with a few odds and ends from the week here that I wanted to show you, but they didn't make the cut on their own day.

Hi Java- we think they are looking at the cat on the roof, who knows perfectly well they can't get to her.
