Grandpa’s favorite ‘puzzle’ at the library

It was a busy day with Jenny and her daughter—
» Boo Castle Park, built by a local business-man in memory of his son
» Carbondale Public Library, to explore and check out a stack of books for Mimi to read
» Splash Park to cool off for a while from the heat
» dinner at home with our friend Bobbie

Photo is of our older granddaughter** studying a maze block or maze cube at our local public library. (Her hair is a bit matted as we’d been out in the heat at the Castle Park.) I tried the maze block three or four times, getting pretty close (I think) on my last try. I can’t find this particular product online, but there are a few that appear to be somewhat similar. Wish I’d had something like this for students to “play” with in my campus office while we chatted…

Once upon a time I had a wooden labyrinth game, but I don’t think that item has survived every purge of the attic. :-\

** A new granddaughter arrived in June, a cousin to this granddaughter (rather than a sister). I will have to include photos as I fill in the missing months.

Sweet capture, like her concentration.

She looks very interested. She might be like her Grandpa!

Sweet photo of your GD

[Thom Mitchell]

@dutchothotmailcom @thewatersphotos She is *so* attentive and observant. Her mom is similarly observant and becomes *very* persistent in pursuit of the answer to a question or to resolve a mystery. Karma is unforgiving: Now she has a daughter with that same power of observation and persistence. Grandparents have a deep and abiding respect for such “payback” (?)!!

@rhoing Indeed!!
