My friend Robin is in Paris, yeah !…Last Tuesday I took her to my fav' part of Paris : the Aligre Market and its neighborhood. She wanted to see all the places I had mentioned on my blog in a specific post about “my off the beaten path Paris”.
I am sure you are thinking “OK, nice story, but what does it have to do with lemonade ???”. Well, that day, after having pounced on Moisan pastries, gotten drunk at “Le Baron Rouge” wine bar, I took her to “le Pause Café Bastille” where her traveling companion Chris ordered a lemonade. see following

Short story of Jigsaw puzzles

Posted by Mr. Frog Monday, May 10, 2010 0 comments


The first jigsaw puzzle was produced around 1760 by John Spilsbury, a London engraver and mapmaker. Spilsbury mounted one of his maps on a sheet of hardwood and cut around the borders of the countries using a fine-bladed marquetry saw as an aid in teaching British children their geography. Until about 1820, jigsaw puzzles remained educational tools. They illustrated bible, historic or moral topics. Later puzzles began to lighten up, illustrating fairy tales and nursery rhymes. see following
