The other day, Josh and his big sis bought a puzzle to work on during these lazy days of summer. After having lately been immersed in Hemingway and F Scott Fitzgerald, they chose this 1920’s designed picture.
I’m sure working on this, a “roaring good time” will be had by all :)

For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food,
For love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.
