    Talking Mary Torture

    I should be working on next month's tutorial since April is almost history.

    I have been tormenting my wife telling her I am going to buy some of those garden gnomes (which as soooo appropriate to the desert--not!). She is really afraid I will do this and she thinks they are so tacky and embarrassing (hope I am not offending anybody).

    I have left catalogs open to photos of garden gnomes and I went so far as to change her background on her laptop to a repeating wallpaper of gnomes.

    Her normal background photo is one I took of Baxter the cat looking at dinner from out of my office window. I replaced the bunny with a gnome (took me about an hour to outline the plant to position over the gnome and to clone the blacktop and remove Mr. Lapin.

    Now I just have to wait for Mary to turn on her computer. Heh, heh.

    Oh so merrily we go tripping down a well laid path.

    You do know that pay backs are H E double hockey sticks

    But aren't these types of things fun until then

    Great work on putting the Gnome into the photo.

    Actually, Mary laughed. (At least I though she was laughing )

    We have been married for 32 years. Nothing really surprises her anymore.

    Cool yet wicked!!! I like Mr. Lapin better and I so agree with Mary, gnomes are tacky. Still it sounds pretty funny as a joke. Good edit as well.
