Mushroom Puzzle

Mushroom Puzzle

We finished this mushroom puzzle yesterday. The text at the bottom, giving the mushroom names, was the easiest part of the puzzle. After that we were able to put together a lot of the mushrooms but without knowing where in the grand scheme of things they went. That’s part of the challenge of doing puzzles without the lid, of course. Otherwise it’s too easy. I’d rank this about average in difficulty and we enjoyed it. We’re also partial to mushrooms in food, so it was interesting to see all the varieties (not that these are all necessarily edible, of course).

Operation Christmas Child Boxes

Operation Christmas Child Boxes

Cathy is a big fan of Operation Christmas Child, which is a ministry of Samaritan’s Purse, an organization founded in 1970 by Robert Pierce (who also one of the founders of World Vision International) and with Franklin Graham, son of Billy Graham as president.

Cathy set out to fill six boxes and as usual, ended up having enough things for seven. Actually, she was close to having eight boxes, but had a lot of a few things rather than a good assortment of things for that last box, so those things will be saved for next year.

You can see other Operation Christmas Child posts from prior years here.
