solved

One of the first things that Mary did when she came home for Thanksgiving was break out a new jigsaw puzzle.

In keeping with the Galloway puzzle rules, the box top was hidden; so no getting clues about what the puzzle was ultimately to look like. Over the holiday weekend, the kids spent hours solving the 1000-piece puzzle. Slowly jewel-toned beetles of all sizes began to take shape.

Last night when Ed and I got home, we found Maggie sound asleep on the couch but the puzzle completed. Way to go Maggie!
