I gave this jigsaw to my husband for Christmas. We have long winters in New Hampshire and just about the time that the snow and cold or the sleet and muck make for uncomfortable outdoor work, SB likes to pull out the card table and work on a puzzle ... it keeps him busy and out of my hair. It occurred to me as I looked at this picture that we are pretty set in our ways ... married for an unGodly amount of time and still good friends and partners in crime ... we fit together like these puzzle pieces.
Glad I hooked myself up with the right person. I'd hate to be that puzzle with one missing piece ... just sayin'.
Saturday Snapshot is an exercise in pure fun ... a blogshare with Alyce @ at home with books .
Check out everyone else's Saturday Snapshots ... and pick out one of your own, add a little story or caption, and link it up at Alyce's hub! A picture's worth a thousand words, you know ...
How romantic...puzzle pieces that fit together. Sounds like the perfect union; and that puzzle is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing...and for visiting my blog.
That's a great puzzle, with lovely colours. I love puzzles but don't have a lot of patience. Sigh...
ReplyDeleteLove that one -- great job.
ReplyDeleteThe old man of the mountain is still on the puzzle?? We haven't been to NH to see how it looks without him. May you have many more years of being perfect puzzle pieces together.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like the kind of puzzle you could frame and hang on the wall. It has staying power just like your marriage ;)
ReplyDeleteI'd like to think hubby and I are like you both, together forever and loving it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by and visiting me.
haven't done a jigsaw in years... now I want a lazy sunday and a big jigsaw!!
ReplyDeleteI love jigsaw pieces. My kids have never gotten into them. Now that they're heading off to college, maybe I'll need to start doing them again. Here's Mine
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post. We have a card table that almost always has a puzzle in progress on top of it. I hope you have a great day. Blessings...Mary
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! My mom loved jigsaw puzzles and used set one up on a card table. Anytime I would pass it I'd have to stop and find a piece. I miss that.
ReplyDeleteAww, what a sweet metaphor! And a fun puzzle. :)
ReplyDeleteI love a good puzzle too. I'm glad you hooked up with the right person too.
ReplyDeleteI hope you showed your husband this post...so sweet!
ReplyDeleteOh you made me laugh!!! My younger brothers who are twins both enjoy jig saw puzzles! Go figure! Happy St. Paddy's Day!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great loving post; I also gave my husband a puzzle for Christmas. When my boys were growing up, we always had a puzzle going on a card table somewhere; a great spot to reflect.

This reminds me of long, cold winters in central Illinois. Of one winter in particular when snow had drifted to the eaves of the house, a small thaw, then temperatures plunging below zero. The resulting ice brought trees and lines down. We were without electricity for three days, and my grandparents had to leave their all-electric house and move in with Mom and me. We worked jigsaw puzzles by the light of kerosene lamps. Thanks for bringing those memories to the fore today!
ReplyDeleteI love jigsaw puzzles and I think they're amazing to kill those dull winter days. So sweet to see the love between your husband and you and how you complete each other :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great looking puzzle. I don't have the patience for big puzzles, but admire everyone that has.
ReplyDeleteI think that's really sweet - being friends is the best thing of all.
ReplyDeleteWOW! Yours is the first Saturday Snapshot that brought a tear to my eye and a lump to my throat. Two cliche and hackneyed phrases BUT apt in this case. What a lovely way to put it. I've been married for twenty years and (mostly) feel the same way:)
ReplyDeleteThis is my first stop by your colorful blog (thank you Alyce) and I love the bright and cheery look.
That is so sweet! I love puzzles too. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely way of seeing the world and your relationship - your husband is a lucky man! I did 3 puzzles over our Jan summer hols (Aust) with my stepsons. I hadn't done puzzles since my own teen years - I'd forgotten how wonderfully relaxing and mesmerising they can.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great, intricate looking puzzle. Wow, I would never have the patience to be able to put such a thing together.
ReplyDeleteFar lovelier than the puzzle, is the togetherness you speak of.
-- Cheers!
I love puzzles too and I love your sentiment!
ReplyDeleteNice photo, great sentiment! I especially love the line "it keeps him busy and out of my hair". I think my husband needs a puzzle. ;)
ReplyDeleteThis brings back memories! My dad was a big puzzle person and always had one going. :-)
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you and your husband found each other. I love the sentiment--it is very fitting (no pun intended).
Great picture of the puzzle!!!
ReplyDeleteThx for hopping by my Saturday!! I'm a new follower! LOVE your SPRINGyness!!
