Hey friends, can you help me? 
I’m trying to track down some vintage plastic puzzles like this one. They’re about 3 in. square, usually red, with 1/4-inch square pieces inside. One space is vacant, so that you can move the Scriptures or Books of the Bible into their correct position. If you find one for me, I’ll send you a favorite book from my library, plus my foreverlove.
Signs and wonders: I’m still in a state of wonderment about something that happened on the way to my Yoga Inversions workshop yesterday. It was even more magical, more miraculous than the headstand I finally managed. Which is saying quite a lot. More about that tomorrow, if I can find words sufficient.
Preview of coming attractions: On Wednesday, we’ll return to The Authors’ Tent–this time, with Jeannine Garsee (SAY THE WORD and BEFORE, AFTER, AND SOMEBODY IN BETWEEN). And soon after that, Sara Zarr (STORY OF A GIRL, SWEETHEARTS, and the not-yet-released ONCE WAS LOST)! Inside the Authors’ Tent may or may not become a regular feature of this blog; I haven’t yet decided. But for now, I’m featuring authors and titles that relate to my own story in some important way. The commonalities may not always be obvious to you, dear readers, but at some point, I’ll connect the dots.
It’s hotter’n Hades here, and the afternoon breeze is blowing smoke from the wildfires in our direction. But I’m communing with you from my air-conditioned office, drinking Passion Fruit iced tea and watching the hummingbirds play tag in the trees. Paradise–I have found it.
Hey you!
Just stopping by to say Hi!
I hope the wind stops blowing in CA and it pours healpful rain for a couple days.
Wish I had one of those puzzles — I had a Felix the Cat one and a Pennsylvania Dutch saying in colors with peeople on it — now I want to look for them at Mom’s this week. =)
I smiled when I read this! SO happy for you! ‘Paradise–I have found it.’
Re: Hey you!
Well hello there! It’s wonderful to see you…I’ve been missing you like crazy.
It’s fun to discover old toys anew, isn’t it? I hope you find your puzzles. And also? I’m hoping you’ve found Paradise, too.
I carry it with me =)
Most of the time I carry it with me — “the peace that passes. . . . .”
Other times I go to the beach to find it =)
Re: I carry it with me =)
I love that you referenced that scripture. I carry it with me also, and find it in Nature, too. xoxo
Don’t know where you will check first, but here is one on Ebay like the one pictured….

Oh my gosh! That’s exactly what I’m looking for. I’ll contact the seller and see what shape they’re in. ((HUGS))
Good Luck!
I’ll let you know…there may be a book prize in your future.
PS It’s so good to see you here again. I’ve been missing my LJ friends, and now–hurray, it seems they’re coming back!

And….I’m good with the foreverlove. =) You don’t need to give up a book from your bookshelf. =)
Hey! I won the auction! Thanks so much for tracking it down for me…I would never have seen it otherwise. Would you like me to choose a random book for you from my bookshelf? I don’t have many YA/MG/PBs, but… 🙂
Send me a PM/Email to let me know your address & preferences. xoxoxxoxo

So much good news, yoga goddess. The Author’s Tent sounds great.
Yoga goddess? Pfft. I’m a plebian, make no mistake about it. But oh, when I went topsy-turvy, I placed an imaginary olive wreath on my own head. 🙂
Are you settled into Home again? I loved the pictures and stories of your mother-daughter adventures….
