We gave a 300 piece puzzle to Nancy Adamson a couple of weeks ago and last night she thanked us for getting her and Vince started on puzzles&#8230;they are having a ball!

OK, I was in a hurry to walk so I pulled on my jeans but not quite high enough.  When I fastened by belt it felt a little odd but I cinched the belt tight<br><br>Well, after six blocks I was hurting so bad I had to turn around.  OK, you ask why didn&#8217;t I adjust my belt? Easy, I was in front of an elementary school and the last thing I was going to do was unfasten by belt, fumble with my pants, and refasten by belt&#8230;not in today&#8217;s world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After arriving back home and letting the belt loose, the pain subsided immediately.  Lesson learned!  Pants go well above the hips or I use suspenders!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I got home. the extra two sets of LED lamps had arrived so I used the time to put in another light in the closet.
