Gage broke the boards at his tae kwon do this week and got his yellow belt. We tried tae kwon do when he was around 4 and I think he got a yellow belt too, but he just didn’t have an interest so we stopped. But, never say never, he’s really enjoying this time around and goes 2-3 a week with no complaints. Hopefully that will continue.
Books read – 2 (10 for the year) Lies She Told by Cate Holahan and The Slippery Slope (A Series of Unfortunate Events #10) by Lemony Snicket
Reviews posted – The Honeys by Ryan Le Sala A bizarre YA novel that was perfect for my desire for something different.
On the Screen
Effie Gray was based on a true story and while I liked it I wish the ending had been a little more fulfilling. I had to look up what happened after!
Puzzles
I’ve started a Little Free Library for National Puzzle Month. It’s just in the local Buy Nothing group (for now) and it’s just shelves on our front porch, but all of these puzzles have turned me a little puzzle crazy this month. I finished these this week
And started this 3000 bohemoth that Jason gifted me at Christmas. No idea how long this will take, but protecting it from Sammi is going to be a problem, so the faster the better.
This weekend
Jason has tomorrow off of work and Gage and I are doing half day of school, so we’re going to the library to apply for passports. And, of course, I’ll be puzzling.
Are you a puzzler?

Goodness! A 3,000-piece puzzle?! Now that’s a challenge. I did four puzzles during the pandemic. I passed all of them along to others in my LFL.
Congratulations to Gage!
Enjoy your half-day off!
I’ve got a LFL for puzzles going on right now and it’s fun seeing what people take and what they drop off.
Nice to find a book that’s something different but enjoyable.

It is! Sometimes I’m in the mood to be shocked and other times I just want the comfort a book provides.
Good luck with that puzzle! Yikes. We received a 3000 piece Harry Potter puzzle a year ago Christmas and have never even opened the box. We don’t have the space to assemble one that large. Speaking of puzzles, I was casually counting all the puzzles on our bookshelves in the room where I ride my Peloton. I think we have close to 100! Some we’ll do again and again, but I think it’s time to get rid of those that were fun, but not worth repeating. Kind of like books… 🙂
100 puzzles?! You have a puzzle library 🙂 I’ve only got a handful right now, that I’ve done. I trade on our local Buy Nothing FB group and that’s always fun. I have at least a dozen that I’ve purchased or been gifted waiting for me to find the time.
Congratulations to Gage! My son and grandson have been doing Zu Zitsu for years and love it!
I love puzzles!
I’ve been puzzling like crazy. I think it can me meditative.
