One thing is like another
Connecting pieces
Interlocking the ideas
Helping understand the puzzle

Nice, nice, and more nice!! Loved it Michael. When you get a chance, would you check mine out and let me know if you spot anything amiss? First time I’m trying this. so it would be helpful to know if I did it wrong. I see one thing you did different and that is to separate your 5-7-5 from your 7-7. I did the 5-7,5-7 ending with 5-7-7. Thanks, Terri
