FLY LIKE AN EAGLE JIGSAW - Pat Daigle of Fort Kent, shown here,<br />
and a friend took advantage of the newly made snow at the Lonesome Pines<br />
ski trails on Dec. 5, having spent the previous day and part of that one<br />
building the perfect ski and snowboard jumps. He is executing a back flip<br />
iron cross in this image. Just feet from Daigle and the artificial snow, green<br />
grass stretches away up the ski tow hill, a testament to the mild winter conditions<br />
northern Maine residents have been experiencing during the early<br />
part of this winter. To solve this jigsaw, visit <strong>Fiddlehead</strong> <strong>Focus</strong>.com and<br />
download it to your PC.—Julie Daigle image<br />
Facebook Quote of the Week!<br />
Carla Albert said, when FF asked about readers’ favorite ornaments<br />
or decorations,<br />
“I have a red bell that belonged to my Grandmother who passed<br />
away in 1991. My parents home burned flat in 1978 and there wasn't<br />
anything my mom could give me for a keepsake of our many beautiful<br />
Christmas'. When my grammy died , my mom gave me this little<br />
red bell for a keepsake and it is hung on our tree every Christmas.”<br />
