    Default Before-and-after Yard.

    The side/back yard a few months after we moved into this place:

    While we do not have 'privacy' - you can see the cookie-cutter houses around us (not cookie-cutter per se, as there are about 5-6 different models) - but I believe my wife's done a great job at building for us a bit of a 'sanctuary' - as much as possible in a neighborhood like this.

    She is a beautiful young woman who seems very talented.
    I bet with a smile on her face she is even more beautiful?

    Thanks - she's beautiful inside; where it counts.

    I can sense it in her eyes that she is beautiful on the inside.

    From that little picture? That's odd. She's also a wretched sinful human; apart from God's grace she is vile and nasty. Everybody is. Thing is - she has enough sense to seek God's help in restoring a modicum of love and service to her mind/heart. She still has her warts - everybody does.

    She is a faitful wife, good mother to our kids, and a hard-worker. And you can 'sense in her eyes' she's somehow good inside? Are you just blowing smoke up my ass here?

    Fwiw: re: yard:

    She built that play-house, too...designed it using Excel, sourced the parts/wood/hardi-plank, and she built the thing.

    I actually was not , there is a kindness in her eyes.

    I have found throughout life I have been able to see it in people and have rarely been wrong.

    She has a soft gentle thoughtfull look in her eyes and I have never seen anyone be able to fake it.

    Well, She's absolutely the least soft-and-gentle woman I've ever met. She's more 'steterotypical man-like' in her softness and gentleness...so - you may wanna get re-calibrated.

    I think you misunderstand what it is Im seeing in her eyes.

    What I mean by a soft gentle thoughfulness is that there is much more going on in this person than even you are aware of.

    I sugest you treat her well and NEVER take her for granted.
