Day 6 saw Susan the first out of the dugout, to go to bat, but both Caroline & Rachel soon joined her in the endeavor. We now had the full team working tirelessly to complete the project of assembling a 1000-piece puzzle of a 1962 MGB.

Day 7 – The finishing touches on this beautiful car. We took Rachel to the airport to fly back to Minneapolis and while gone, it was Caroline that took up the mantle and completed the 1962 MGB. 7 days of work for 3 (well, sometimes 4 when I wasn’t taking pictures) putting together perhaps the hardest and most mind-boggling jigsaw puzzle we had ever done. Ha yes, it is a beauty!! Oh yeah, by the way, 2 pieces are missing from the puzzle? Like I said early on, this was bought at a silent auction so perhaps the original owners had gotten frustrated and kept 2 pieces out on purpose to make for some additional havoc (like we really needed that)!
