I finished it!

When April and I needed something to take up our time, we bought a puzzle at Carrefour. We decided upon a difficult-looking 1000-piece puzzle where the pieces were either blue, white, or green (for the most part).

April and I worked on it together the first night. And if you know anything about puzzles, you know that you always start with the border and work your way in, so that is what we did (easy peasy).

After the border was complete, April's frustration grew and grew and she decided to quit and read a book instead. So on I ventured to complete this mind-boggling difficult puzzle.

As the days passed, the puzzle slowly began to take shape, after many hours of concentration. One day when Katie came by, she wanted to work on the puzzle too, but was baffled by why we had bought a such a challenging one - "Why did you buy one whose colours are all the same?!". "We wanted a challenge." I replied.

More days passed and many mornings and late nights were spent, many headaches and frustrations were had, but the puzzle was complete. It is now sitting under this computer as I type, as a tabletop for all to see. I will take a photo one day. For now, you can just looking at the uncompleted version in the previous post.
