Jigsaw Puzzles To Work On Your Desktop

Are you tired of picking up puzzle pieces off the floor? Do you not work them because you cannot pick them up? I have found a fun site. It is called Jig Zone and it is a lot of fun.

It has puzzles galore in several different catagories. I love the flowers and parks. I also find the fractals quite interesting. Some of them are so pretty. There are also holiday, travel, and city categories. There are several other categories, also.

Do you want your puzzle easy or difficult? They go all the way from 7 to 244 pieces. I usually stay around sixty pieces. The pieces come in lots of shapes. It is a mix and match series of choices.

Also, if you don't like any of the puzzles on the site you can download pictures and make them into puzzles. They are presented in only one format but then you can change them to fit your own wants.

I've talked about it long enough. I want to go work a puzzle.

Are You Bored?

Have I got something for you. It is called RefDesk and it has been a main site for me.

What would you like to do? What city are you from? Would you like to browse their newspaper or one in the vacinity? You can find a link for it there. How about overseas newspapers? There are quite a few of them listed. You click on the front page and go from there.

How about the comics? And, they even have some oldies but goodies that are no longer published.

There is a myriad of encyclopedias that you can link to. And, all kinds of dictionaries and other reference sites.

How about a crossword puzzle? Or, a joke or website of the day? By the way. the joke and website can me emailed to you daily.

If you don't want to read but just look at pictures you can find sites for that, too.

It is a fun site and can keep a person busy for hours. It is on my desktop. On Sunday mornings, I head for the comics.

Henry B. Plant Museum

We are starting with a smaller museum before we go on to the major ones around the world. This one is special to me. It has quite a history which you can also learn about on the site.

In a nutshell, it started out as a luxury hotel for the wealthy from up north. They came down by train. Tampa was just a village when it was built.

It is now the University of Tampa, but one wing of the original building is now a museum. It has several rooms of the opulent furniture from the era and other interesting pieces that were originally in the hotel.

At Christmas, it is decorated for the season in the style of the heyday of the hotel. If they put pictures up of it this year, I will write another article.

So, if you are interested in this type of thing, go have a look. If not, go look anyway. You might be surprised.
