Puzzles, Pets & Plans 🧩🐾📅

Winstigators,

As the parent of a 4 year old, jigsaw puzzles have taken up a lot of our time recently. I may or may not keep putting them together after he’s gone to bed.

A while back I shared a puzzle that many of you enjoyed, so I made another one this morning. This time it’s a bird’s-eye view of the Handley Library and the Braddock/Piccadilly intersection. Click the picture below and then “start game” at the bottom of the new page that opens up.

Pet Adoption!

Check out stoic Galaxy, handsome Leroy, sweet Ginger, unimpressed Patrick, and laid-back Violet.
