She’s in her last semester of college. Let me repeat, COLLEGE. Repetition is only for my own awareness because hell to the no. I don’t have a child ready to graduate from college. She’s doing her senior project for design on a winery and this is the picture she’s using for her postcard invites.
DNA. Dude. You rock.

She is absolutely beautiful. This is a fabulous picture of her and I’ll be damned if she doesn’t rock the look department like her momma. Beautiful.

Mal is gorgeous as always. I’ve not seen a photo of her in such a long time. This young woman, indeed, has amazing DNA. I pink puffy heart this picture of her!

Well done, Mom. One down, two to go. You can feel good about a lot of things but nothing beats the feeling of knowing that you raised up a kid who’s ready to take on the world. For me (and I realize that not everyone feels this way) my kids are my best legacy. It beats personal recognition, winning a Nobel prize, anything. Because this is the future.
Speaking of future, it looks brighter, knowing that Mallory is going to help shape it.

I can only hope that my daughters grow up to have the confidence that is oozing from the young woman in that photo. You have obviously done a wonderful job! She looks ready to tackle the world.

Best of luck to her on her senior project, if it’s half as good as she is beautiful she’ll ace it!

The ‘do rocks. And what a sassy, beautiful smile. But back to the hair - seriously, who is her stylist?

Who knew a simple pic of my kid would bring about this many comments. And all so very nice! Thank you.
Her stylist is my stylist but I’m not brave in getting a real HAIR DO. I stick with what I know and am “safe” with my hair. But I’ll pass along the compliment!

She is gorgeous! You must be so proud, and rightfully so. I love her slight grin; she looks like she’s up to something.

If I say something like, “Mallory looks hot, just like her mother!” I would only mean it in the most unperv way possible. But then again I did invite you to dinner at a nudist colony once so I guess it wouldn’t be that unperv.

She is gorgeous. I see somewhat of a mischievous look in her eyes which makes her that much more beautiful.
You should be one proud momma and even prouder of the fact that you look young enough to be her sister

Beautiful shot of Mallory. Her hair looks awesome–thicker, even! It totally shows her personality.

That is the BEST haircut. I had one like it when I was in Lib. School and got the most compliments on it…but I’m too old and crusty to give it a go now. ;-P
Tell Mal that we’re all so proud of her, not only because she is so beautiful but because, having watched her grow up, we can’t wait to see what the future holds for her.
Oh…and since I’m FINALLY getting off my ass and commenting, as I’ve long promised I would, I need to thank Mal’s mom (yes, that would be YOU MM) for your advice, oh so long ago now, about baby oil being the best thing for shaved legs. Where was this info when I was a young woman (Huh, mom? Huh?!) - for the first time in my life I (and my super sensitive skin) no longer have to deal with razor burn. I actually have presentable legs now. That may sound like a minor thing, but you try going on a blind date with razor burn to worry about (go ahead, TRY it). So anywho…thanks lady. *grin*
Oh, and it’s good to have you back to blogging. Later gator.

Can I just say it’s also a great portrait? I mean, sure, there’s a beautiful woman in the picture, but it’s just damn well done. (And kudos for you for making such a pretty girl.)
