Puzzle Complete

We finished our 300 piece United States puzzle.

Peter created a crazy monster with Marcie.
I love my sweet grandchildren.
Abby helped wash the dishes.
Brooke would not give a smile; which made us smile more.
We soaked the back off a postage stamp from Grandpa's mission to Australia.
Peter and Abby picked a stamp they put in his collection book.
On to the next project in a jiffy - play clay.
My favorite play clay recipe.
1 cup white flour
1/4 cup salt
1 cup water
1 tbsp cream of tartar
2 tbsp cooking oil
food coloring (if desired)
Combine all ingredients in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly. After several minutes the gooey mixture will eventually form a ball. Remove from the pan. Cool.
I don't usually add food coloring - it's like playing with snow.
The best part of the day - sit in bed and read favorite picture books.
