Yesterday, I had Alicia picking out several structures to build while I am gone working in Jamaica all next month. She picked a residential area and really likes the IHC San Francisco style houses, so I will get her all set up before I go with a 24" x 24" matte board base and all of the supplies she needs. She's going to do a city block 5 houses wide and do yards, vehicles, etc. She's only going to do 4 houses on one side so she can also add a community swimming pool.
I feel for the folks whose spouses complain about their hobby. My ex used to HATE it. (Still does)
A buddy of mine has the answer when his wife starts to complain about his model railroad hobby. He just tells her, "I could be stuffing dollars into stripper's G-strings instead." She quits complaining real fast.
