Gorgeous country there Norm. Really lucky to have such vista views of the area. Looks like the golds are still around somewhat. Nice picture of Tess and I assume that is you , the man , the legend in the last one.

I get most of my clothes the same way. Occasionally I notice stuff in my closet with price tags and stuff or Karen will re-sort the dresser drawers so something new is on top as that is generally my decision tree on accessorizing ...umm what goes with these jeans ??? Oh I know the first shirt I grab. Oh and I am a card carrying member of the 'my mind legend" club , just ask me

How long did it take you to train her to do that?

unsure but I hate shopping and if my high school clothes still fit and I had them, I'd be wearing them ...... not so much 'training' as just being me ....she gave in cause if it fits and it's new and I see it, heck I'll wear that as well and most of time take the stickers off.

normhead · 10-21-2013, 05:09 PM

Ya, I usually go out in public with the tags on a few times before I cut them off. She doesn't tell me and then laughs when I finally notice.... some kind of women's humour thing.

You guys done putting us women down because we don't want to be embarrassed by you in public? Is it our fault you look like orphans half the time? Oh, I almost forgot, I'm here for the images. Lots of nice color there Norm and Tess is looking like you are taking good care of her.

Wonderful series of your wonderful part of the world.

You say that like there's something wrong with looking like an orphan. I have as suspicion that was an insult to orphans everywhere.
