"There are many such boys and girls, full of high hopes, lovely possibilities, and earnest plans, pausing a moment before they push their little boats from the safe shore. Let those who launch them see to it that they have good health to man the oars, good education for ballast, and good principles as pilots to guide them as they voyage down an ever winding river to the sea." Louisa May Alcott Jack and Jill

Persistance Pays Off!
I had prepared for a long wait at the hospital for Kaylee's birth, a bag full of games and books and such. Well, I put this irritating puzzle in there. It has nine pieces and it is a brain teaser puzzle. There are an assortment of tops and bottoms of cats on each square piece and you have to match all the tops with the correct bottoms. Sounds easy, right? NOT HARDLY! We had messed with it on and off for no more than and hour at a time since we thrifted it, with no success! While waiting at the hospital Euri tackled it. It took her TWO solid hours of non-stop concentration... but she did it! She was so proud of herself! And at least, we now know that it can be done!
