I won't cut fresh flowers for you


Jessie is leaving me in just a few days. As a way of trying to say thank you to her for everything she has done for me this summer I convinced her to let me torture her for a few hours by taking her portraits. Here are just a few of the many photos.
We had a lot of fun taking them and I think that maybe secretly Jessie has always wanted to be a supermodel because she knew just how to pose every time!
She did eventually force the camera on me to give me a taste of my own medicine.


And of course we had to take a timer shot of both of us.


If you want to see what we have really been up to this summer you should check out Jessie's blog which I have a link to. She is much better about posting and has fairly thoroughly documented the major events of Livingston Summer '08. I'm sure once she is gone and the dust has settled I will have much more time to write about my thoughts and feelings over the last two months. But right now all I can say is that having Jessie here has been more than I could ever ask for. We have laughed (more than I have in years) and cried (not as much as I have the last few years) and giggled and been oh so silly. It has been therapeutic and wonderful. I have met people I never would have met and have just had more fun than I thought possible. As soon as Jessie leaves I am pretty sure I can just go straight into hibernation. I know at least food-wise I should be set for the long Montana winter without eating another bite! And yes Jessie, I will always cut fresh flowers for you.
