Originally posted by MarkJerling I remind myself of that whenever I interact with our 17 year old.
Teenagers are like miniature lawyers.
My Dad had three degrees, one of them a law degree he used as a defense lawyer in the Army. He had footlockers full of law books and I used to study them religiously. It would infuriate him when I would throw out case decisions that contradicted his mandates on how I should do this or that. We had long conversations concerning the law, and he often admitted I held my own very nicely. It was my only interest in the law....and only for the purpose of antagonizing him.....and he knew it. I still have many of those old law books....fond memories of our late night conversations when I came in 2-3 hours late and found him waiting for me in a dark living room...ready to "lay down the law".

Wow!
Now that is some hard work and superb it is!
Curious...how long did that take her?
That reminds me....my Grandmother on my Mom's side was a quilter. She always had a quilting frame hung from her bedroom ceiling and was always working on a quilt. They were works of art and I think every family member got at least one. The ladies would all get together and work on them back in those days.
Times have certainly changed...now the ladies get together and go to those male strip clubs more often than quilting. My Granny would not have enjoyed that.....I don't think?
I never saw any sign of a Rupert type in her character.
I can do blooms...just point the Bigma out my office windows and fire away! No need to get out a macro lens and enter the hot muggy atmosphere to get a shot. Just sip my coffee and shoot!
Regards!
Give your wife my compliments on that gorgeous work!
