April 17, 2026 Chautauqua

Beth's Ponderings

   I finally finished the 1,000 piece jigsaw puzzle the Easter long weekend! I can’t believe it took me over 4 months!

   Once I got past the (very challenging) initial 200(ish) inside pieces, it was smooth sailing, and it all came together rather quickly.

   Overall, it did not appear that it would be that hard, but the sepia tones were deceiving. I’m glad I didn’t give up, and completed it.
