This weekend before my allergies attacked me and I found myself quarantined indoors, I stopped by the neighborhood yard sales. I brought home two computer speakers, a record player console, speakers to go with it (that need new adapter cables in order to make sound) and one 500 piece jigsaw puzzle, circa 1967.
I am dubious as to whether or not all 500 pieces remain in the box after 44 years of storage and at least one good assembly, but I am determined to spend my summer finding out for sure.
Similarly, I was surprised to find out the French word for puzzle is "puzzle". It seems so wrong to me...

What a cool little piece (see what I did there?) of history!
Good luck with the puzzle...I don't even have a table to do a puzzle on. Eep.
Love the puzzle comment--the word is the same in English and French and yet whenever I try to pronounce puzzle my little 4 year old French students always tell me I'm doing it wrong. How can I be getting it that wrong!? Grrr
