The Greatest Puzzle Ever

So about a month ago, I came across this find while at my parents' house. Needless to say, Spyder was absolutely exstatic when I brought it home. It lay around the house for a few days while our excitement bubbled over. Once we could no longer contain our excitement, we settled in at the table and got down to business.

Every thing was going great, we had several pieces of the money put together and nearly all of the border completed. Alas, we were missing an all important corner piece!! We searched and searched through the box to find the elusive corner, but to no avail.


We went to bed that night feeling quite dejected as you might imagine. Life just ain't fair!

Well, I was over at my parents' house again today. Can you guess what I found? No, not an identical puzzle or the missing corner piece; that would prove that life is indeed fair (and then the whole world might just end).

What I did find was a companion puzzle! Can you imagine my excitement?!? Who knows if this one will prove to have all of the pieces, but we've got a second chance at puzzle glory and I don't know if I can wait until next Friday when Spyder gets home.

Next Friday just happens to be his birthday, can you imagine a better birthday present than this? I only hope that all of the pieces are present and accounted for.

Wish us luck. I'll let you know how it turns out.
