Jennifer's wedding day was fast approaching. Nothing could dampen her excitement, not even her parents' nasty divorce.

Her mother had found the PERFECT dress to wear and would be the best dressed mother-of-the-bride ever.

A week later, Jennifer was horrified to learn that her father's new young wife had bought the exact same dress as her mother.

Jennifer asked her step-mother to exchange it, but she refused. 'Absolutely not. I look like a million bucks in this dress, and I'm wearing it,' she replied.

.Jennifer told her mother who graciously said, 'Never mind sweetheart. I'll get another dress. After all, it's your special day.'

A few days later, they went shopping and did find another gorgeous dress. When they stopped for lunch, Jennifer asked her mother, 'Aren't you going to return the other dress? You really don't have another occasion where you could wear it.'

Her mother just smiled and replied, 'Of course I do, dear. I'm wearing it to the rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding.' :cool:

Hey Rose,

PDaddy, no, I actually painted it. I used to work as a portrait artist. The little girls is in her early 20's now. Do you mean the painting by Lawrence? (I think that is the spelling)
 
From Wikipedia:

Pinkie is the traditional title for a portrait of 1794 by Thomas Lawrence in the permanent collection of The Huntington at San Marino, California where it hangs opposite The Blue Boy by Thomas Gainsborough. These two works are the centerpieces of the institute's art collection, which specializes in 18th-century English portraiture. The painting is an elegant depiction of Sarah Barrett Moulton, who was about eleven years old when painted. Her direct gaze and the loose, highly-movemented brushwork give the portrait a lively immediacy.

Al, PC is way overrated! :-D so, thank you.

And Capt. Al, I thought that was Pinkie. If I remember right, the little girl was some sort of relative to Elizabeth Barrett Browning.

Yeah, I agree this disease is no present! I'd always assumed that I'd paint again after I retired. ~ I guess I'd better get going with it!
