Wow Rachel, you found the exact puzzle? How wild. I think it&#039;ll be an easy puzzle for you. You are the puzzle master!  Canada will luv you for getting it, lol.
Discovery sounds like a fun ski resort. We have been to Butte and Missouli so I guess Butte is not too far from Anaconda. I like exploring new small towns in Montana. The state seems diverse in all its ranges. Cheers!]]></description>

I found the puzzle on eBay and ordered it. It was on Amazon as well but wouldn&#039;t ship for a month. Not sure why. I look forward to working it. I&#039;m puzzle mad, lol! 

We went to a resort called Discovery right outside of the town of Anaconda, which is about 40 minutes from Rock Creek Cattle Company, where my SIL&#039;s house is.  I really liked it! It&#039;s small but had great runs. Though it was crowded on the weekend, but I guess that&#039;s understandable given it was a holiday weekend. 

Even with all the craziness and I&#039;d like to see the movie, too.]]></description>

Hi Jane, I didn&#039;t realize you are a Ruth Ware reader. They do seem to go quickly. I haven&#039;t seen American Werewolf in London in a long time ... but every once in a blue moon when I&#039;m flicking channels it&#039;ll be on ... and of course I have to watch it. So many funny lines in it. Makes me laugh. 
And thanks the flowers are nice to have in the kitchen when it&#039;s so freezing out. But the temps are supposed to rise tomorrow from -5F to 40 degrees!  We won&#039;t believe it&#039;s true till it happens. 40 degrees will feel like Miami, lol. I hope you get some warmth too. Enjoy your reading.]]></description>

Hi Helen, Interesting about a puzzle table topper -- I had not thought of that or seen one. But I googled it ... and it seems like a good idea. I do feel a bit old spending time doing a puzzle but that is where I am apparently. :-) And I think it is useful during these troubled times. 
I&#039;m glad you are enjoying the mystery.  Have a great week.]]></description>

Hi Ti,  Yes you&#039;ve had a much improved V-Day than last year&#039;s scary ER visit. I&#039;m so glad how well you&#039;ve done since the surgery ... and I&#039;m sending you positive vibes for a good clear MRI result.  It&#039;s hard to believe it&#039;s been one year since then. I hope you have liked your doctor and think he&#039;s good. 
Have a great week.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Gorgeous flowers--what a striking color! And I love the Canadian puzzle--looks like so much fun and a good way to get through the cold snap. We&#039;re also freezing down here in CO.

I enjoyed reading your review of the Griffen Dunne book--I definitely won&#039;t be reading it, but I liked the review. I loved American Werewolf in London (that was recently a Jeopardy question) and need to rewatch it--and I do remember when Dominique Dunne was murdered. Such a horrible thing.

I think Keira Knightley is a good choice to play Lo. Didn&#039;t know there was a movie coming out, so thanks for the heads up. I just finished my third Ruth Ware novel. They&#039;re a bit addictive. Interesting that Ware is doing a sequel to Cabin 10 although Lo is a good character to build a series around.

Stay warm!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I do remember Dunne, now that you mentioned him. I would read that book even with its iffy beginning.

Hi Constance, great to hear. We&#039;ll be watching the hockey too on Thursday night! I used to pull for the U.S. but now I&#039;ll be rooting for Canada. hmm it&#039;ll be a good showdown. 
I&#039;m glad you told me about the new Susanna Kearsley novel -- I&#039;ve never read her but I&#039;d like to. Which one is best?  Great to hear you&#039;re going to London, how terrific. Will you be hitting some bookstores over there? Or doing a book exchange?
Quite a quote about trashy friends re: Dominick Dunne book. I never read his books -- but his Vanity Fair column back then seemed plenty. Enjoy your reads this week.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Dominick Dunne always struck me as the type of person so eager to see and be seen that his children were either ignored or overindulged or both.  It doesn&#039;t surprise me that they turned out badly.  I remember being at Bantam when the paperback edition of People Like Us came out with a very striking art deco cover.  I don&#039;t remember the book but there was a famous quote from it that I suspect we used to sell it: “We&#039;ve all got trashy friends, but we should choose our trashy friends with more care.”

Everyone here is excited about the big hockey game coming Thursday night!  I am watching the US play Sweden tonight.

It is a three day weekend here so yesterday I treated myself to a day doing nothing but reading - a new book by Canadian author Susanna Kearsley which my sister brought back to me from London because it is not out yet here (and it was great!).  I am going to London at the end of April and will have to figure out how many books I can sneak into my luggage.]]></description>
