Hi all, I just finished the Primrose puzzle, it was a hard one for me but I loved it.
I've been trying to keep track of where my puzzle friends are from. So far I have friends in 19 states and 7 countries. There are a few multiples. If you could would you change your icon to your state or country. It only costs 2000 points and they accumulate so fast. After awhile you can change back. I am from Michigan, anyone else from the Wolverine state out there? Anxious to hear from someone from Hawaii.
Hi Annie1749, I'm from Central Florida! The sunshine state. :))

Hi Annie! I was born in Michigan when my dad was in the military, but I have no memories there. We lived in Taiwan, Kansas City MO, then Colorado. I've lived here since 1960, so I consider it home!

Hi Annie1749, I've been to Michigan to visit a friend, Homer and Marshall. It's been awhile. :) We've had a very rainy day down here, lots of thunder. Have a great evening. :)

Hi Annie, I love my puzzles among the mountains of Tennessee. I'm a transplant from Alabama. I always thought Southerners were all alike. Nope. I'm the only one in the group who says "y'all." Add both Tennessee and Alabama for me.

Hi Annie - I'm from Connecticut.

Thanks to everyone who has replied to my request for state/country identification. I am now up to 24 states but still at 7 countries. Homer and Marshall are very near Battle Creek which is the home of the Battle Creek Zoo and Firekeepers Casino. I have visited them both and really enjoy them. At one I visit the monkeys and at the other I am the monkey for loosing my money. Grand Rapids is on the other side of the state from me, I'm in the south east part of Michigan. Let's keep this going until we reach all 50 states.
Unless we are happy with who we are, we'll never be happy with what we have.

Hi Jazz0130, Oh my you are taking me back decades. I visited Nathan Hale's home, he wasn't home! :))))) Now I know why! :))) My husband lived in East Hampton way back then. Small world. Have a great evening. :)
Hi Hockeyfan, Oh Yummy!!!! These chocolates do look so decadent. Very tough puzzle to look at. Had gained 6 lbs while away in VA, but have taken off 5 of those lbs. so far. Road stops have some of the worst "foods" ever. How has your day been going? We've had rain/storms most of the day. Been busy making a Tomato/carrot/herb soup and cleaning out a closet. The fun never stops. :)) Could use some of that chocolate 'bout now. 8>)"' Have a great evening. :)

And did you see the "Related Puzzles"!!!! It's a tough day for sticking to my healthy eating plan. :( AND, it just keep on getting better, a well known burger joint just had a commercial on the TV with FOUR milk shakes! Not One, Not Two, Not Three, but FOUR Milk Shakes!!! Within three feet from my desk. I could almost lick them. Not saying that I did, just could. :))))

Oh tomandray, you tickled my funny bone......LOL. Yes, the eating places along the roadways are not good for our diet. Glad you have taken of the weight you put on. I need to take off 5 lbs. as well. Been trying for a month and you did it in a week. I must try HARDER! lol Cleaning closets is a lot of work. Those milk shakes must be from a "burger joint" we have here too, as they have been advertising them here as well. They look wonderful. Must change my thoughts to something more healthy! :) You have a great evening as well. :))))
Yum..Yum...but I hope you can't gain weight by just working these pastry puzzles! I've done quite a few lately, and my pants are fitting tighter around the waist. LOL Took me a half hour to do, but really enjoyed it.
Yes, agreed they would taste better without the sprinkles, but they are so pretty with the colored sprinkles and it does make the puzzle more interesting. :) Have a great evening. :)
