I got a friend that always invites himself over to my house whenever he buys a new gun.  He unloads it, racks the slide or whatever several times to be conspicous about safety and hands it to me.  I look it over, make the usual comments and hand it back.  He reaches out with and wraps the gun in a handkerchief saying, "Thanks, always helpful to have a second set of prints, ya know?"   :o

I'm telling you this to make a point.  Make sure she keeps up building bows with you.  Always handy to be able to blame the sawdust and woodchips in the carpet on another set of shoes!!!   >:D >:D >:D
