Sarah and I went to Sprout's last week so she could stock up on produce. She bought apricots, cauliflower, avocado, onions, broccoli, and lots of other things, including potatoes. That was the biggest surprise to me--10 pounds of potatoes for 98¢. Yes, you read that correctly. When she first picked up the bag, I asked if she really needed 10 pounds, but then she pointed out the price and said she would give away some of them. So I brought 10 lovely russets home with me. I don't think I've ever seen potatoes at this price.
Yesterday I helped Randy's aunt and one of her friends work on an old jigsaw puzzle unlike any I've ever seen. Most of the pieces were small, but they all had lots of curvy edges, as you can see here. The box did not have a picture on the front, as we usually see, but a previous puzzle worker had taken a photo of the finished puzzle and included it in the box. Thank goodness! Otherwise this would be an even harder task. Some of the pieces latch/lock together, but many of them just slide into place and are easily displaced when you accidentally brush up against them. We made a tentative date for next Friday to continue our work. Lynn has four of these puzzles, but this is the only one with a picture. I'm not sure I'd want to try any of the others!
