I’ll be the first to admit it - I love a good crossword puzzle.  Whenever I have a free minute, I sit down, break out a crossword book and get right at it.  I have been know from time to time to sit at the computer and do some free online crossword puzzles as well.

You might wonder where my love or fascination of this activity came from - I blame genetics.  You see, my mother and her mother before her did crossword puzzles, so I guess I was destined to do them as well. 

I love the fact that this simple activity helps me with my spelling and keeps my mind sharp - I wouldn’t want old age to slip in.  In fact, lately I have been trying out some free crossword puzzle makers to try my hand at making my own.  I figure that I could make my own and give my mother and grandmother them to try out.  So far, I have had mixed success - but I am going to continue trying.

Alright, time to take a break - where is my crossword puzzle book…
