This collection of seashells includes, among other things, a starfish. There is also a seahorse in this jigsaw puzzle, which are found in shallow tropical and temperature waters around the world.
Humph. Much slower than my first time two years ago. My brain must be getting even slower. Today is way 14:13. I like this puzzle. I like things, landscapes, plants, designs. I don't care for food unless it's fruit, veg and spice fresh. Too many tea time settings and bakery creations for me. Don't like animals. The photos are cute but I don't find they make good puzzles usually. Some of the African groups were good, tho. The art can go either way. Would like to see more antiques, jewelry, artistic sports like ice skating, gymnastics, dance like ballet. Maybe copyright prevents those last groups.
Once again I am asking for prayer. My daughter and I have been estranged for several years and recently got in touch with me and I consequently had contact with my two grandchildren. My granddaughter has decided she is transgender and has given herself a new name. I didn't even know what transgender meant. I found it very hard to call her by her new name and got a message from her today stressing that I call her that. I wrote back and said I would call her by her new name but that she would always be her old name to me I am not even sure what to ask for in prayer, perhaps that I can accept her decision etc. Thanks in advance for your prayers.

I wonder if I'm a grandpa. I'm glad you have contact.

Thanks abacii - we were chatting on Facebook this morning and she has at least agreed not to call me by my Christian name, but will call me Gran, so am very pleased about that. Hugs.

Aussie, sounds like Chloe/Kastor (where do they come up with these names? ) is slowly coming to terms with her family and calling you "Gran" again is part of that. So glad she's in contact. Like many older teens, she is searching for the elusive "herself" and will need your support. In the meantime, I'm praying for you to be able to be there when she needs you. Hugs, many of them!

Yes Aknan, have come to terms that this is to be at the moment but also know the power of prayer and how it changes things. Love you both. Hugs
Good Thursday morning everyone. It looks like I am the first one on here. Hope ya'll are okay and have a blessed day. This puzzle was easy and fun to do. Makes me want t go back to the beach.
Oh, how I do miss the BEACH. Raised on the East Coast and spent many days going to Cape Cod.

You and me, both. I loved collecting shells on whatever beach we happened to be on a family vacation. Blessings!

I came on late today. Getting things ready for my move the weekend of the 25th. You know, it's not as easy to move now as it was when I was 20! lol

Yeah - Lucky you - I want to move I'm begining to not like the state. Why does everyone have to be in other ppl's business. I'm not in other ppl's business. Was concerned when a neighbor comes and tells me oh didya hear about so and so - she has cancer and the most agressive form. Oh this nurse told me. Thought there was a code of ethics that they had to follow.

Code of ethics...not just for the nurse, but for the neighbor, and all of us.

Good thought, rahrah. We should all think before passing on gossip, but unfortunately, our tongues don't have restraint sometimes.
Ugh! Such sad news to hear about Aretha Franklin and her passing. Turns out that she died on the same date as Elvis. I thought everyone knew who she was. Then hubby says oh c - he said he was a foreginer so how would he know.
hope everybody has a great weekend
