Puzzling through life

Bob EnTin, high school business teacher, retired lawyer and former teacher, has recently started two new ventures: a move to the Meadows Independent Living, and blogging about his experiences.

Some of the regular activities at the Meadows gave EnTin the idea for his blog. “We do new puzzles all the time,” EnTin said. “They probably put out a new puzzle every few days.” There also tends to be a group who works on puzzles on the second floor and another on the ground floor, and favorite puzzles are framed and put up as decorations.

At first, EnTin thought he would just create a slideshow of the puzzles people could view online. But as he started figuring out what his new life would be like, he saw a little bit more to the story. “Some things were puzzling me. I sort of put the two together,” he said.

The blog, called “Our Puzzling Lives at the Meadows,” has a photo of a recently completed puzzle with each post and also some thoughts from EnTin about life in his new community.
