    "Cockamamie" I haven't heard that since I was little. :D

    I like this one a lot Von Jones. Reminds me of several my parents did some years ago
    so similar to yours. They so much enjoyed doing puzzles in their Senior years...

    I have yet to develop the needed patience to get one completely done, and is why
    I've not continued on, I think now though, I am going to aim for doing another and
    completing it, that would be a good feeling ;)

    Thank you. Challenging more than difficult. I haven't worked on a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle in a few years. It is a great picture.

    The most challenging one I have ever done is the New York Times Square 750 piece. It was tougher than any 1000 piece I have done.

    How long will you leave it together before you break it apart?

    I have never glued a puzzle together and hung it like art, never to be assembled again. If I did that, I'd be compelled to go buy another puzzle exactly like it.

    The puzzles I break apart are usually ones with missing pieces. I've glued it together and will be framing it to hang this upcoming winter season.

    I know some of the puzzles with lesser pieces are really challenging. I have a couple one with hot air balloons and other with a tiny mouse village waiting. These I hope to sell at the flea market.
