The first picture is of Andrew showing Marj Mather at her office at Cochrane Engineering which is at Inovation Place on the U of S campus. The city is requiring me to do some renovations at one of my rental units and they required drawings.
The next picture shows one of the tools that Marj uses to draft a floor plan. Her mouse captures an image off the cart and places it on the screen so she can do a floor plan in an incredibly short time compared to the old method of drawing everything by hand.
These hibiscus flowers are incredibly beautiful and delicate and only last a couple of days. But their construction and complexity of design is far greater
than either the computer system (which I don't understand) or the renovations that I'll be doing. It certainly keeps a person humble knowing that God is immensely better at making things than people are.(The hibiscus plant is in my office-computer room and somehow Ruth is able to encourage the plant to bloom periodically.)

I totally agree! I have always been mesmerized with the sky and have thought it would be great to be able to paint a beautiful sky. Apparently it is one of the hardest things to paint. One painter recommended painting a sky a day to get somewhat proficient at it. Then I realized, we are at a huge disadvantage. I've never seen a painted sky anywhere as glorious as a real one with all it's immensity, power, transformations, lights and darks, surreal color...
With Ivan I also get to relearn appreciating nature. He finds it all beautiful and fascinating. Every flower is a gift and he'll touch half of them, excitedly proclaiming "FLOWER!!!" - like WOW, do you see that. I bet he would love the hibiscus. I didn't know you can grow them indoors!
Oh yes, Angela, you can grow them indoors. My mom has a bunch of them. In the summer she puts them outside but doúring winter they are inside and grow and flower.
Well, I think Ruth has a great grift, being able to take care of flowers and plants. Nature is the most sacred thing we have.
