HOLMES BEACH – Fran and Wayne Derr started working on their 111th jigsaw puzzle on Sunday, Dec. 28.
The Holmes Beach residents live in the Key Royale community and they began doing jigsaw puzzles a little more than five years ago.
“In March 2020, the states began to implement shutdowns in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19, which forced us to stay at home for the most part,” Fran explained. “So, to find an enjoyable way to pass away the time that we were spending in our home, Wayne and I started doing puzzles. We called it our own little Happy Hour! Most days, in the afternoons, we’d start working on a puzzle, with Wayne fixing me a margarita and himself a bourbon.”…
