"Time to Eat" marks the second from The Saturday Evening Post series that I've completed. This 2013 puzzle has a distinctive 1970s theme in its design. So much fun to go back in time! I have the perfect foodie recipient to whom to gift this puzzle, so I glued it when complete and will be looking for a frame.
This is also the first puzzle I completed since losing my little Caitie to an anaphylactic reaction to a bee sting four weeks ago. I'm so glad I have the photos documented with her for this blog. She was my little companion who would sit on my foot while I worked on a puzzle, and sometimes snuggle in my arms as I puzzled.

Postscript: I had this puzzle framed and gifted it to a friend who works for a large produce company. It was a great way to thank him for regularly inviting me to foodie events and cookbook author presentations.
Callie modeled the framing job. Too often, puzzles are not finished in standard sizes, so that they must be custom framed. To save money, I buy a standard frame bigger than the puzzle, then have a custom mat cut so that the puzzle will fit the frame. I think this one came out great, but even with this tactic, it was still expensive to finish.
