PIC - Mother in law's birthday gift
Mike Schwing from Maryland
>No, its not a lump of coal. My mother-in-law is actually kind of cool.
Three little "nested" bradford pear bowls, on top of a curly makore display stand.
This'll win me major points over my other brothers-in-law, they're always mad at me with my hand made gifts.
I think its neat, hope she will, too. Looking at this pic, the stand is a little big, but it really doesn't appear so in person. Hmmf.

>Coool, Mike. Those look nice. I'm with you regarding a nice MIL.
I'm learning that our founding fathers were very wise men. I think they used the phrase "domestic tranquility" to mean "keep the ladies happy". ;-)

>Hi Mike,
They look really good, a nice little set. The stand is neat too. Hand made gifts always seem to go down well with people. (Never tried a MIL as don't have one :o) )
One question which I've wondered before, not being US based and have never seen your currency. What size is the coin you keep posting with the pictures?

I believe it is a quarter and is in the neighborhood of 26 millimeters. (Mike, correct me if I am wrong.)

>Yup, a quarter dollar. And while its not what it used to be, its still the same size.
Cheers Mike for the confirmation.
