Very young.?? Daniel, being a bit older, took a bit longer to see the woman in the girl.?? When Brooke was young she would call me on the phone and I would shoot the breeze with her just counting the seconds for her to get around to her point.?? &#8220;By the way&#8230;is Daniel home?&#8221;.?? Knew that was coming.?? Quite predictable.?? Daniel was a bit of a Don Juan during those early years and Brooke did NOT find that the least bit amusing.?? I forget her exact age when Daniel &#8220;saw the light&#8221; but I think it was at 14 or 15.?? He fell hard for her.?? I recently learned that she did not think it fair that I got married first since she had been dating Daniel longer than I had been with Jim (hee hee &#8211; typical baby sister).?? In true baby sister fashion, she upped her game and had a wedding ring on her finger by age 19.?? :)???? She knew exactly what she wanted, and like a true driver she went after it with gusto.?? She is a whirlwind.?? Sometimes her busy plate spinning (frankly) wears me out.?? Hee hee.?? She knows this about me and tries to be gentle with my task driven agended nature but sometimes she lets me know that she is just flat insisting that I abandon my plan and go for hers.?? I know why my brother adores her.?? I do too.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jimanddoni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/brk26.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"700\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As a photographer, I have learned to tell people (thank you Liza), if it bends, bend it but Arlo clearly doesn&#8217;t speak my language.?? He insisted on looking me straight in the eye and I am anything but a horse whisperer.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jimanddoni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/brk28.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"464\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jimanddoni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/brk29.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"464\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I love this &#8220;love&#8221; picture.??
