A Hubs Story (part 2)

Way back a longtime ago, seriously ages ago, as in more than a year ago I stated from time to time I would do a special post featuring a somewhat cute story about my sweet husband. My affectionate title for these special posts started out as "A Hubs Story"...clear back in October of 2016 the first hubbie story appeared on the blog and can be found here, A Hub's Story: Part 1. So way overdue is the second installment...Note to my mom-in-law, this is a story to read to grandma Ruth!

On to the story...
The subject of puzzles came up while Brad and I were talking the other night. Puzzles as in jigsaw puzzles, not crossword puzzles. Brad mentioned he didn't believe he'd ever put a puzzle together. I said he must have when he was a kid. He argued stating, "I was playing football not doing puzzles". Well I believe that, I've seen all the pics. Plus a large box of trophies sits in our home, trophies from football and tennis.

After our brief conversation about whether or not he'd ever put a puzzle together he soon went into our spare bedroom to grab a puzzle out of the stack of puzzles grandma Ruth has given us. He was quickly determined to put his first ever puzzle together. With a puzzle in hand he returned to our dining room to clear off the table to do his puzzle. His "masterpiece" as he had termed it. He began work on the puzzle while I sat in the next room typing on the computer. After what I would estimate was about 20 minutes I went to check on his progress, he had 4 pieces together. Four pieces as in 2 duos pieced together. Make sense?  A few minutes later he proudly announced he had 2 more pieces together in another duo. It wasn't more than five minutes after successfully linking his third set of duos when I heard him say, "honey, you want to finish it? I'm done!"

Clearly puzzles are not his thing! LOL! He has not and will not catch puzzle fever. At least he tried something new, right? It's still cute that he even wanted to try after it occurred to him, he's never put a puzzle together. But come on honey, couldn't you have accomplished more than 6 pieces in duos? ;)
