Something funny happened to me the other day.
I was at the thrift store looking at puzzles. This young woman calls me the “Puzzle Lady,” because I only buy puzzles. Sometimes I only find one. Then she tells me to spend more, so I get rewards back.
I did find some beautiful puzzles, see below.
MY BEST LUCK though came when I was standing in line for check out. I happened to look to my left, it was the men’s section. On a shelf with some golfing stuff was this “1,000,000 dollar puzzle.
What… Was I seeing correctly? It was so amusing. What were the chances of seeing that type of puzzle?
I mean, we just started a NEW YEAR. I felt like I hit the jackpot!
The Universe was sending me a “Good Luck” sign. It was a brand new puzzle too. Of course, it will be FUN to put together, ALL those bills at my finger tips. Wow!
So, I bought my Good Luck charm for 2026!
Here are the others I found, really lovely, in great condition, based on authors.

2026 is off to a grand start!!

Fantastic, a great puzzle find.

That would drive me nutty if I could not complete the puzzles.

For the literary authors, they were taped closed, so I assume so, but I will find out once I do each one. For me, even if a few pieces are missing, I don’t mind.

It sure is. That’s when you know the person was a puzzler, when the seal the box and better put the pieces in a zip lock bag.
