No, I didn't know there was such a thing either but here we are. I love puzzles, especially jigsaw puzzles. When my brother and I built them as kids, we both hide one piece so we could be the last one to put the final piece of the puzzle in. So, yes, days could pass before the last two pieces were finally put in place and it was usually on a count of one, two, three...
Did you know jigsaw puzzles were invented by a cartographer? The Los Angeles Public Library shares this: John Spilsbury, a London cartographer, and engraver is believed to have produced the first "jigsaw" puzzle around 1760. It was a map glued to a flat piece of wood and then cut into pieces following the lines of the countries. These early puzzles were known as "dissections," and they were beneficial for teaching geography. But they were not just for children; they were a trendy pastime among the (wealthy) adults as well. Made of wood and handcrafted, only the very wealthy could afford them.
And, yes, like any good mother, I taught the Hooligans to always hide a piece as well so the stand off continues.
I haven't had much time to do jigsaw puzzles of late, but I did achieve a record over the summer when I put together a particularly difficult butterfly puzzle in two hours when it had taken everyone else days. I'm not positive but I think it came so easily because I was a bit tipsy on Nova Scotia wine. Drunken clarity and all that 😁

And here's another fun fact, the largest jigsaw puzzle in the world is according to the Guinness Book of World Records is this enormous lotus flower with six petals symbolizing the six areas of knowledge envisaged by the Mindmap study method: human beings, geography, history, culture, education and economy.
The puzzle, which was put together at the Phu Tho Stadium in Ho Chi Minh City on September 24, 2011 was made up of 551,232 pieces and was completed with an overall measurement of 14.85 x 23.20 m (48 ft 8.64 in x 76 ft 1.38 in). It took 1600 students 17 hours to complete the puzzle.
Amazing!

| Bwa ha ha ha!!! It's a stumper! |
Jenn, I'm chuckling over you and your brother each hiding a piece of a puzzle . . . .
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed . . . puzzles are great fun [and definitely a "keep you from going crazy" necessity during the Covid quarantine!]
My next project is a puzzle of the near side of the moon . . . one thousand pieces to make a twenty-six-and-a-half inch circular puzzle . . . .
Oh, that sounds hard and interesing!
DeleteJenn, I'll have to pass on your and your brother's hiding a piece to my granddaughter. That's hilarious. During the isolated period during Covid, I did start some puzzles with my husband. I think we even finished one. I do love jigsaw puzzles, but I can't find the time to work on them. I've got some I want to try, and maybe your post will get me going. I just thought that I can listen to a book while I do the puzzle, maybe. I'm not sure how much concentration I could take away from either and do both adequately. Oh, and I love the link to the history of jigsaw puzzles. I can't believe I haven't already gone down that rabbit hole. I'm glad the clear puzzle was a joke. I thought you might have lost your mind. Hahaha!
ReplyDeleteIt does make it more of a blood sport. LOL. Oh, and the clear puzzle giveaway is real!
DeleteKathy Reel, I’m not so sure Jenn is kidding….. I do love jigsaw puzzles, but only seem to do them when I’m having a girls’ weekend with friends. (Two weeks ago my friend visited and we kept “puzzling” even when the downpour in SoCal had knocked out the power. Isn’t that what flashlights on cell phones are for?!) My husband and I started one (Pez dispensers - more difficult than one would think) six years ago on vacation and it’s still wrapped up, unfinished, in the felt traveling case!
ReplyDelete- Pat S.
LOL. Six years? Time to finish it!
DeleteI used to love puzzles, but in recent years just haven't found time for them. During the pandemic two of my writer friends rediscovered puzzles and worked them obsessively, and I do mean obsessively. I was finishing a book and while I'm glad I did, I confess I was a bit envious of their ability to just go with the puzzles.
ReplyDeletePuzzles would be a nice break from work :)
DeleteI agree. It's one reason I liked Crossword Puzzles. And lately, I do feel drawn to go get a jigsaw puzzle and just wile away the time.
DeleteI used to do puzzles more often than I do now. It is relaxing and Jenn, I would dislike you for hiding the last piece.
ReplyDeleteLOL. Noted. Don't hide the last piece from Dru!
DeleteI like to do jigsaw puzzles on vacation, but I never do them at home (no space, cat, partner not interested...). What Hugh and I always have going is one or more NYT Sunday puzzles on a clipboard. I do all I can, pass it off to him, he does all he can, passes it back, or the reverse. We reserve cheats for the very last clues, usually proper names neither of us has heard of.
ReplyDeleteMy older son and his wife are visiting for the weekend. They brought a huge NYT puzzle, and last night we cleared the dining table and laid it out. The three of us rotated positions: one reading off a clue, one scribing, one helping wherever. So much fun! We'll finish it this morning to celebrate National Puzzle Day.
Oh, and when Allan and Alison do jigsaws, they do NOT look at the box! Gah.
DeleteYeah, too many cats in this house, too.
DeleteI love puzzles! It’s so relaxing and helps me to unwind.
ReplyDeleteIt can be meditative.
DeleteOne year over the Christmas break, I gave my partner, Val, a puzzle in pieces in little bags -- all the pieces, but only 20 or so at a time (one bag per day) and no picture. She had a great time literally puzzling it out over our time at the cottage. The satisfaction at the end was supreme. She returned the 'favour' to me the next year with a different puzzle. I found it fun to figure it out from nothing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. I might have to use it!
DeleteThat is a cool idea Amanda!
DeleteOh, do give it a try, Gillian and Anonymous! It was great fun and a really cool experience of working with logic (where are those damn corner pieces?) and with intuition (hmmm, seems to be a landscape forming. is that a lake? No, it turned out to be sky!).
DeleteThat's wonderful!
DeleteBrilliant!
DeleteI loved them when I was a kid, but pass on them now. The time I would spend on them gets eaten up anyway with cooking and baking (while listening to audiobooks) and reading books. I am pretty sure that I could get back into them and listen to books while puzzling, but there is too much around here already that I am not doing.
ReplyDeleteRecently, the Ocean Conservancy sent me gorgeous puzzles for being a member. They are very tempting!
Oh, an ocean puzzle would be amazing.
DeleteFor some reason, I have never been a puzzler. My class gave me a magnificent Harley puzzle when I retired in 2010. (We are Harley riders). I have never even opened the box, though during Covid I came close.
ReplyDeleteIt takes time and space. I get it.
DeleteI love jigsaw puzzles, and the cat and I always have one on the go. Our favourites are ones that are just difficult enough to require a day or 3, and have lots of good colours – we don’t like the dark ones and will skip them all together. I was given a 1500 Ratzenberger of little cat squares in November, and a week ago put it back in the box – too big, too hard, and no fun.
ReplyDeleteOur library always has a puzzle on the go. You can stop in (and get counted – all librarians will understand the need for stats!), work on the puzzle for a while, catch up on the news and the neighbours, have a chat with whoever is there, and then go home until the next time. All puzzles are donated, and after they are done are put in the foyer, so that anyone can take them home and keep them or later give them away – they go full circle.
‘My Little Sweetheart’ and I like to do them after lunch – that means that someone should pretend to do some work in the morning. The conversation usually begins (after the prerequisite game of Jeopardy), “think I will do a bit of puzzle for a half hour…” The cardboard comes off the puzzle table, said cat who is all white and tend to leave hair on the puzzle is pushed aside, and the ‘half hour’ of pleasure and relaxation begins. I usually listen to a book, or semi-watch Coronation St at the same time. It is often dark and or supper-time when we quit – cats are notoriously bad at telling time!
And no, I don’t want to win that puzzle – it is too hard!
Our library had started having a jigsaw puzzle out on a table for anyone to work on, but then pandemic...and they haven't resumed. It was fun to just breeze by, put in a few pieces, pick up my books, and leave.
DeleteOh, I love the idea of an ongoing puzzle in the public library.
DeleteI enjoy puzzles, but mostly work on them during beach vacations with my family. My brother-in-law thinks that it's cheating to look at the box. The rest of us don't agree. He also likes to sort the piece by number of 'nipkin'--his word for the sticky-out bit of the puzzle piece. He has one cookie sheet with pieces that have three nipkins, one for pieces with two nipkins, etc. On our last vacation in December, we took a 1000 piece puzzle that was just too hard to complete in 4 days. We were very sad to pack it all up unfinished. That crystal puzzle looks difficult!
ReplyDeleteI could never finish a puzzle if I didn't look at the box!
DeleteI'm not a big jigsaw puzzle do-er, but this reminds me we got one as a Christmas gift so now I'm inspired to get started. Interesting facts Jenn - and so cute about you and your bro!
ReplyDeleteI don't know if National Puzzle Day includes all types of puzzles but we love to listen to Will Shortz (Puzzle Master of the New York Times and featured on NPR Sunday's). We do the Daily Jumble and Wordle everyday too.
I always listen to the Sunday puzzle too, and when I can figure out the challenge, I send in my entry but have never (yet) been selected.
DeleteI used to enter the puzzle contests in our local newspaper's Sunday supplement. Won a couple, with prizes including a very nice photographic print of our skyline, and a coffee mug or two.
DeleteBut Will Shortz's puzzles are hard, and have fierce competition! I suspect they choose the winners by how fast the correct answers come in. One of these days, Edith!
I hopped off Wordle for a bit, but I'm back.
DeleteI did jigsaw puzzles when I was a kid, but the appeal has long since worn off. I might take part in assembling one if I came across people I knew doing one but seeking to do one on my own for "fun"? Not anymore.
ReplyDeleteMy mother liked puzzles and had a bunch of them. But I ended up giving most of them away after her passing.
I would much rather do one with company.
DeleteI enjoy doing jigsaw puzzles. When I was a child we had an aunt who sent one to our family every Christmas. As an adult I had a sadistic brother-in-law who sent the hardest ones he could find. I once did one that had the same picture printed on both sides only turned 90 degrees from each other. There’s always someone who thinks it is funny to hide a piece! My own children came up with that idea all on their own without any help from me. And we have some puzzles with dog-chewed pieces when some puzzler has knocked a piece off the table onto the floor. I have done a round puzzle with a picture featuring hummingbirds. That triangular one with the butterflies looks interesting. In retirement, I trade puzzles and books with two friends. A few years ago, they gave me a big pile to send to my sister-in-law to keep her occupied during breast cancer treatment. She is a speed demon when she puts them together! Those puzzles have since been donated to a small town library that checks them out to patrons.
ReplyDeleteOh, that double sided one sounds nasty.
DeleteWhen I was a kid, my parents & I usually did a jigsaw puzzle over the Christmas holidays. I have not picked up that habit as an adult.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a wonderful way to spend the holiday.
DeleteForgot to mention that the Mayo Clinic Rochester, MN used to have jigsaw puzzles on tables in the waiting areas before Covid. I wonder if they will ever bring them back.
ReplyDeleteSo much better than just sitting there, worrying. I hope they bring them back.
DeleteI absolutely love jigsaw puzzles! Your butterfly one is beautiful. The one I got for Christmas this year is too big for my jigsaw puzzle table. So now figuring out where to put it is a different sort of puzzle. If I just had a stadium...
ReplyDeleteI have to do mine on vacation away from the pets.
DeleteYes, Jenn I am definitely a puzzle-doer! But that was not always the case. When I was growing up my mother was a great one for jigsaw puzzles and so was my brother. I just didn't see the appeal. Then years and years later while on a vacation in Maine I saw a beautiful puzzle. It was sort of a map of Maine with all of their great features depicted. I had to have that as a souvenir. When I got home I had so much fun completing that one I was soon on my way to doing others.
ReplyDeleteYour saying that jigsaw puzzles were first created by cartographers reminds me of a couple of wooden puzzles I have. One is the United States, each state a different color of wood and the other puzzle is New York state with the counties as the pieces. The wood pieces are stained, so fairly natural looking, not like the bright colors of plastic puzzles for little kids. It is one of my treasures!
Oh, I wonder how old your wooden one is - time for antique road show?
DeleteJenn, I love jigsaw puzzles. My mom would always start one after Christmas dinner and everyone who came over would help with a bit here or there. Grand-nephew and I have continued the tradition. I look at the box and I most enjoy the 500-piece variety--no space for anything bigger and the pieces tend to be somewhat bigger. This year's puzzle was a long-haired ginger cat snoozing on a pile of books in someone's library. It's currently making the rounds among family and friends, then I'll donate it to the local library.
ReplyDeleteOh, that sounds like a lovely one, Flora.
DeleteLove puzzles… whenever my daughter comes to town for a visit we always make time to do a puzzle and talk
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful way to catch up!
DeleteA clear jigsaw puzzle looks like the ultimate exercise in frustration. Life is hard enough already, so no, thank you.
ReplyDeleteI've always enjoyed puzzles of many kinds, including jigsaw ones. The bigger the better. When the kids were home we would work a big puzzle on their Christmas vacation; the best one was the 3D puzzle of a European cathedral, maybe St. Paul's? Robin and I had a great time putting it together, and realizing we were the only ones in the family who had that spatial ability to visualize the finished object. My grandson loves puzzles, too, and has continued the tradition of putting together a big puzzle after Christmas. I've given him some doozies over the years.
During lockdown I ordered some gorgeous jigsaw puzzles from bookstores. My concentration levels from having Covid meant that I struggled to put them together on my own. Steve has no interest, and I gave up on two of them.
I've also bought used puzzles from the library book sale, and from thrift stores. You never know if you're getting all the pieces, though.
Personally, I would be worried about the clear jigsaw puzzle - are the pieces made of glass and easily broken?
DeleteDiana
Karen, you just triggered a memory. In the film SLEUTH, there is an all white jigsaw puzzle on a table in one of the first scenes. I remember talking about how odd that was after the movie. And it's all I recall about that film.
DeleteHow funny, Judy! There are some diabolical puzzle configurations, like all one color, clear, two-sided, etc. I'm not masochistic enough to subject myself to any of those.
DeleteDidn't Hallie and Jerry put together a two-sided puzzle a couple years ago? Seems to me one side had Ursula Andress or some other blonde bombshell.
The clear puzzle is plastic, Diana. And, yes, Hallie had some doozies to put together during Covid.
DeleteWe are huge puzzlers, the kids and I. Never saw a clear puzzle, this is exciting! And frustrating! Perfect t to occupy us in these dreary winter days.
ReplyDeleteWe are huge puzzlers, the kids and I. Never saw a clear puzzle, this is exciting! And frustrating! Perfect to occupy us in these dreary winter days.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a puzzle made out of ice. :) You have to build it before it melts. Ahhh!
DeleteSince cats entered my life, jigsaw puzzles needed to leave. I'm having visions here of chasing clear pieces across the floor and under furniture. As challenging and fun as looks, please don't enter me in the drawing. Cats, you know!
ReplyDeleteWe used to do puzzles when my brother and I were kids. They always came from family members and they never had all pieces, and often no box! We had a pretty good success rate - no wonder I write mysteries :)
Same! That's why it's a prize. LOL.
DeleteAh ha! Got it!
DeleteAbsolutely a puzzler. Back in Okinawa, I only had 3 jigsaw puzzles. I finally flipped them and did they from the backside. Realizing boredom was next in line, I went to volunteer at the AFB library. Still puzzling after all these years.
ReplyDeleteThat's wonderful, Coralee. Very clever.
DeleteI love doing puzzles. My friends and I trade them with each other. Then I give them away to people.
ReplyDeleteVery generous!
DeleteI puzzled a lot each summer growing up, but I haven’t in years. I got two puzzles this past holiday season, so I may start on today!
ReplyDeletePerfect day for it!
DeleteEvery winter my grandmother put a card table up in her living room and there was always a puzzle on it to be put together! We would sit for hours at that table talking, laughing and enjoying our time together.
ReplyDeleteWonderful memories :)
DeleteNot many puzzles in my life. Not sure why, maybe because it would take a tabletop and there wasn't one to spare. I caught a glimpse of the bottom picture before getting to the words, thought you were going to say your next puzzle was putting together a shattered window. 😀
ReplyDeleteLOL!!! Thankfully no.
DeleteWe have a puzzle going now. We mostly do them during the winter. sgiden at verizon(.)net
ReplyDeleteA perfect way to pass the the time indoors.
DeletePuzzles were a wonderful way to endure the long, harsh winters. We spent hours enjoying this interest. Reading and puzzles keep me occupied.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a nice way to spend an afternoon.
DeletePuzzling is how I keep my sanity
ReplyDeleteVery wise.
DeleteThat's too funny. My dad took a piece 23 states away when he came for a visit.
ReplyDeleteLOL - I like your dad.
DeleteLoved jigsaw puzzles when I was a child. I also noticed that I was also good at math. Wonder if there is a connection between puzzles skill set and maths skill set?
ReplyDeleteWould love to know more about Spilsbury the cartographer who created puzzles. I am going into a rabbit hole to learn more about this person. I remember that my father liked to create puzzles from leather. He also created a tactile World Globe for blind people. He loved to create art from leather. This was years before we were aware about leather and animals.
There is a photo of me putting together a jigsaw puzzle of the 50 states of the USA.
Great post, Jenn!
Diana
Thanks, Diana!
DeleteI love to do puzzles, but I do them online every day.
ReplyDeleteAlways had the problem of disposing of the puzzles
after they were completed, so the online version is
great. No muss, no fuss, but lots of fun. The
puzzle in this gift will be a true challenge.
Happy puzzle day!.
We belong to a puzzle exchange group and when they have gone through all of us they come back to me and I pass them on to the local old age homes.
DeleteI like the online ones, too. And with cats it's much less stressful.
DeleteWhat a unique puzzle! I love getting involved with puzzles. Brain teasers and a perfect evening to relax.
ReplyDeleteA cup of tea and a puzzle is pretty perfect.
DeleteI didn't get into jigsaw puzzles until Covid, and then Jerry and I did about two dozen of them (which of course he'd picked up at yard sales over the years) in quick succession. It was perfect pandemic activity and invariably the puzzles (remember, from yard sales) inevitably had a SINGLE PIECE missing in the end. It never occurred to me that someone might have deliberately left out the final piece. Bwa ha ha indeed...
ReplyDeleteLOL!!! It's an epidemic of badly behaved puzzle builders.
DeleteOh, if I saw that plexiglas puzzle I would run away as fast as I could. Diabolical! I have to say--and not sure why--puzzle with pieces are instantly untempting to me. It seems like--you finish it, and ..then what? I know it's just me. xx
ReplyDeleteYou put an x on the back of the center piece, and then the next time start in the center and work to the edge.
DeleteLOL. You need it to glitter bomb you - the reward for finishing!
DeleteAnd again, Jenn, forgive me...but what a fabulous element of a meet-cute plot:.battling over a jigsaw puzzle, tipsy on Nova Scotia wine? I would read that RIGHT NOW. Pieces of...Love? The Best Part of Us? You can think of something...
ReplyDeleteI want to read this, Jenn!
DeleteI want to read this too, Jenn! Diana
Delete"Drunken clarity." Patients experiencing this psychological condition exhibit an uncanny ability to assemble large, nebulous jigsaw puzzles.
DeleteI'm going to have to give you a commission, Hank!!! I'll puzzle out a plot and maybe...just maybe...
DeletePuzzles became the go to thing to do with my dad after his accident. My kids don't remember a time where the basement table didn't have a puzzle to work on. Now that he has passed and with mom living with us, puzzles have become a race. How quick can we get it done so we can all sit at the dinner table again. Over Christmas my son thought he had picked a puzzle that would definitely get us to have dinner in the livingroom. It was all labels from Campbell's soup cans and it was double sided. His sisters hammered it out with an hour to spare. I still let them eat on TV trays in the livingroom that night.
ReplyDeleteLOL - that one sounds hard. Your kids are brilliant!
DeleteWe always have a puzzle in the works on our dining room table. We refer to it as the puzzle room nowadays😂🤣 We have put together one 3 dimensional puzzle of Big Ben, but that almost did us in, so now we stick to maximum 2000 pieces. Luis at ole dot travel
ReplyDeleteA 3D of Big Ben? OMGoodness!
DeleteLove puzzles! This year I had a holiday painting that I had painted turned into a jigsaw puzzle! It made the perfect holiday gift for an artist friend who lives in another state! She sent me photos as she worked on completing the jigsaw. Fun to share - and do much better than mailing a Holiday card!
ReplyDeleteThat is brilliant and very thoughtful!
DeleteI do like jigsaws but they are more fun to do with someone else, and my husband isn't interested. I have some I ordered during the pandemic, boxes not even opened, but since I recently discovered my decades old puzzle board in the attic, maybe I will give one a try.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Wren can help you?
DeleteI love to do jigsaw puzzles. I have a tbp ( to be puzzled) pile to go along with my tbr pile. bella_ringer@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteTBP - that's hilarious!
DeleteOh, and I love the puzzle history, Jenn! Going to take a wander down that rabbit hole!
ReplyDeleteIt is fascinating, isn't it?
DeletePuzzles are a relaxing bit of entertainment, great gifts and exceptionally beautiful when they’re finished . . . With all the pieces in tact!
ReplyDeleteAgreed.
DeleteI love puzzles of any kind, crossword, jigsaw, Suduko - such sense of accomplishment when its solved.
ReplyDeleteAnd good for your brain!
DeleteI'm a crossword puzzle gal, but I have many fond memories of jigsaw puzzles, which were a favorite of my grandmother and her daughters. Grandma always had one going on her card table, and I can recall childhood evenings when she, my mother, and one or more of my aunts would sit there smoking and working the puzzles.
ReplyDeleteOver the years, grandkids would try to find increasingly challenging puzzles for Christmas presents for her - I recall a three dimensional building one, a two-sided puzzle, and a replica of the old-fashioned puzzle puzzles, with no picture on the box - just an obscure hint. Grandma would have LOVED that all-clear jigsaw puzzle, Jenn - what a head-scratcher!
Right? And it's not too big so you don't feel as if you'll never get it.
DeleteI love jigsaw puzzles and reading about the history of the jigsaw is amazing. Jigsaws are fun to put together.
ReplyDeleteIt is fascinating.
DeleteThis puzzle definitely would be a brain teaser.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, where do you even start? Corners?
DeleteI’m just getting into puzzles. I do them on my phone—haven’t quite graduated to giving up my dining room table!
ReplyDeleteLOL. It is a space commitment.
DeleteIf it were me hiding a last puzzle piece, I’d forget where I put it and I find years later!!!
ReplyDeleteLOL. Oh, that's happened.
DeleteLove the bit of history because I love maps and puzzles!
ReplyDeleteMe, too.
DeleteYeah, I can't even imagine how the clear one works. Whoever wins will have to report back!
ReplyDeleteI don't think any of you can imagine how bad I am at jigsaw puzzles; I simply don't see what piece fits where. My brain's visual-spatial connection (I think I made that up, but it sounds good) must be broken.
ReplyDeleteThat sound like my sense of direction - nonexistent.
DeleteI love doing jigsaw puzzles! That clear one would sure be a challenge.
ReplyDeleteRight? Sooo good!
DeleteI love puzzles. Especially when authors make there covers in to puzzles.
ReplyDeleteKate Carlisle is the puzzle master of that!
DeleteI love puzzles. I don't have much time for them these days. I'm also a little afraid that the cat will get curious and steal pieces. Yes, that has happened.
ReplyDeleteCats do change the game, for sure.
DeleteMy brother and I used to start the puzzles together, him doing the easy buildings, etc.; me doing THE SKY Then he would go out and play, and I would do most of the puzzle. Yeah, I hid the last piece so he couldn't claim all the credit!
ReplyDeleteA few years ago, my eyes got so bad that I had to give up my beloved photograph puzzles with scenes that reminded me of my travels. My brother and I switched to smaller puzzles with bigger pieces but after he died, I lost my interest, I keep thinking that I either have to try to do some again or give them to two ladies at church who also like them.
Lol. Exactly!
DeleteI used to do real puzzles until a few years ago. Now I do puzzles on my IPad and am hooked! Always loved them and will continue. I can even make my own puzzles by downloading my own pictures!
ReplyDeleteOh, that would be fun!
DeleteI have always loved puzzles. Definitely inherited that from Dad & GranGran. We frequently have one going on one end of the big dining table, particularly in winter. I get smaller ones at the dollar store to take camping ( we camp in cabins). It’s been a while but I have done some of the 3D building puzzles. They are challenging & take a lot of space.
ReplyDeleteMy sister sets up a community puzzle at the library. She found a great one of Christmas book covers for December.
Oh, Christmas book covers. I love it.
DeleteHello
ReplyDeleteI have completed 16 puzzles so far this winter.
ReplyDeleteLong time lurker, first time commenter. We'd love to win a puzzle!
ReplyDeleteI love puzzles. My dad and I used to put puzzles together all the time growing up. This puzzle looks awesome. Thank you for this chance!
ReplyDelete
