    What wonderful pictures of your "littlest angel". She is your little girl that was in the photo with the black dress up wig isn't she? Such a doll! Looks as if she is much better with puzzles than i am also! Thank you for sharing this! Jeanne

    SO sweet... yes, those traditional toys / activities are still entertaining... I sometimes think all the technology robs us (said as I sit on the sofa with a lap top before me typing)...

    a wonderful flashback from when I was a kid. I loved puzzles and continued up to those with 2-3000 pieces. Long time since I tried though so i might try one again.
    I prefer traditional games and try to get my friends to join me. Most people seem to prefel online ones though.... much more social and fun with the traditionals though

    Hi there - just completed a puzzle with my kids!

    You question about "which type of apple tree is it" is a good one. And like many good questions I have no answer to it! I think it’s more of a decorative apple tree than a fruiter - but that as far as I can go!

    Cheers _ SM

    Simple is the best. But sometimes it is hard to let it look like simple. In your case with flying colors.

    I also liked playing with puzzles but children these days are trying to find out how they get them out of their ipad.

    Love miss e's hair and curls and her cute positions while she's concentrating on her puzzles- only positions that little people's bodies can get into. Is this taken in your new loungeroom? Rod's taking long service leave next week to paint the back deck and he said my job will be to wash and prepare the windows- a major long groan was uttered on my part.

    simple joys remain my favourite...
    a walk in nature
    resting in His beauty
    bird watching
    watching people
    helping, simply...
    a pencil and paper for drawing
    a swim in the river
    an apple off the tree
    berry picking
    resting against my beloved
    a bike ride
    holding a baby, a child, somebody
    hugs

    Oh Pieces of Sunshine, the photos are beautiful, and for me personally right now, the subject matter of the completed puzzles are truly perfect.

    Thank you to you and your Daughter for a very timely moment shared.
