Brother of the year

[susandennis]

My brother sent me a package. He sent me the tracking number last week. I tracked it across the country and it arrived today. I went down to get it when I got the notice it had been delivered. The shape of the box and the rattle it made gave away the contents. A new puzzle!!!

I ran into Myrna on the way up and she was excited to get a new puzzle, too. When we got to the elbow, we opened it. Brightly colored pretty birthday wrapping paper and a sweet note.

We ripped the paper off and OMG OMG OMG. It's the best birthday present EVER!!!!



Not even mentioning that Ravensburger makes great puzzles, but this one is the greatest ever.

I can't wait to show it to the team. I can't wait to put it together!

Myrna was so impressed that he'd found a puzzle of a water volleyball game. But she kept looking at the photo and said Isn't that Tina? Isn't that you??!

There is no way I'll ever be able to top this gift ever. It's perfection.

OMG - that IS the best! That will be so much fun to put together. (And with all that water, it won't be the easiest!)

That's awesome! I had no idea Cobble Hill made puzzles to order. I want something like this.

What was the horrible one with the badly fitting pieces?

In Germany, where Ravensburger is from, this is available:

https://www.ravensburger.de/de-DE/produkte/puzzle/puzzle-fuer-erwachsene/burg-eltz-17398

Maybe it is available in the US too.

Moody! It seems to have been discontinued over here, but there are copies here and there so I have some hope :-) Ravensburger puzzles are great; I just wish they'd include a "poster" (second copy of the picture) for those of us who puzzle together.

I love the puzzle!

It took me a second, and when I recognized the photo I laughed out loud. You're right - you won't be able to top this present.

That is an amazing gift!

Your brother inherited a ton of the good genes from the man who constructed a roller coaster for his grands. Super thoughtful and fun. Way to go, Bill!

[susandennis]

You have the most amazing memory of anyone and yes, my gene pool is pretty rich and I am very thankful.
