Leslie and Troy both went with the Kraft paper in April. Leslie's did not photograph very well. It is much prettier than it looks like in the photo. I like the way the buffalo is walking on the wavy prairie.

A few days ago I was jabbering about the games and puzzles that I enjoyed with my morning coffee. Sharon (a non-exchanging reader) sent this one and I like it a lot.
It does not have a timer which is fine - although I would be very curious to know what my fastest speed is. Sometimes I am very slow - which does not bother me at all.
I forgot if I mentioned the NYTimes Spelling Bee. You have to subscribe, which I will not be doing. But, they let you play for free - until you get up to a certain number of points. There are always 7 letters. So, you can plug them into a Scrabble words search and see if it will give you the longest word with those 7 letters. In my free version - all I care about is if I can figure out the big word. I think I have only figured it out once. I am pitiful at Scrabble-type games.
Nanski sent this list of her favorites - some I've already mentioned. These two I have not heard of. When this pops up, it will remind me to check them out: kenken, crytograms.
I wonder if it is crytograms or cryptograms.
I would stop and check them out now, but, I'm on a roll with the hoard reduction project - and feeling quite energized.

Two minutes later. Temptation won. I Googled kenken. --- not for me --- it is all numbers. I enjoy a bit of Sudoku - but only because you do not have to actually add or subtract. They might as well be letters. It's just fill in the blanks.
