"DRIVING ME CRAZY"

One of the things that has came close to driving me crazy is bad weather.  I hate to hear the phrase “I’m bored”.  When my children were small, they were raised with playing outside in the nice fresh air, when the weather permitted them to do so and they loved it.  Of course, this was before the days of VCR’s, X Box, Wii, and DVD players.  My grandson has an X Box and he spends quit a bit of time on it.  I think, if we moved a refrigerator and toilette  into his room, we would never see him, except when he had to go to school.  But, my son is on top of things and knows when to pull the plug on the X Box activities.  But, there still remains the bad weather syndrome.  Which we have been having a lot of it lately. 
 The north is getting pounded with snow and the south with rain.  Every time I think I have seen the last of winter, here we are again.  I will be so grateful when spring actually gets here.  In the meantime if, you are like me and hate to hear those two little words, “I’m bored”,  you should head over the Eccentric Thrifter.  She has a variety of puzzles and games to choose from.  I found this great puzzle called Shimmer Sea of Tranquility by Thomas Kinkade.
I am a great admirer of his work.  This puzzle is just beautiful and reminds me of warmer better days to come.  It will take hours to put together.  It could create a great experience for you and your children.  Just picture this, all of you gathered around the dinning room table sipping nice hot chocolate, talking about the events of the day, laughing and carrying on, while ignoring the raging blizzard outside.  You could even accomplish this, should the electricity go out.  Puzzle by candlelight.  It has worked for me.

And if you have time to spare, I hope you will go to Ecrater Stores Network and check out the other stores in our community.
