Go into the boy’s toys section of any fairly large Walmart and you’ll find all the Hot Wheels and MatchBox cars you could ever want!

I’ve always loved puzzles, but when CFIDS struck, I found it very difficult to work any puzzles of any kind. Then I began with Easy Crosswords and other “Easy” brand puzzle books.

About the same time my sister turned me on to a jigsaw puzzle site online, so I work on a jigsaw every day, 300 pieces, maximum. (They don’t make them larger for screen-size constraints.)

I sometimes work a crossword online, but when I go to the laundry room, I take a book of puzzles with me to pass the time.

I will have to check them out sometime, I didn’t realize that they still made them.

A few years ago, I was emptying out an old wardrobe that had been at my parents house for decades... the bottom draw seemed stuck and hard to slide open... I figured I would remove it completely to see what was wrong...

Well, lo and behold, there were two ‘missing’ small suitcase style containers holding my Matchbox and Corgi cars that went missing during a move when I was 9 years old!

It was great seeing them again!
