Your tribute to your grandmother sent happy tingles through my fingers. I learned that she asked you to teach her to paint. You opened up a new life in art for her!

Thank you, Deb! Meme was always creating things with her hands; she sewed almost all of my clothes for me when I was a child, she cooked like nobody's business, and she was always crafting wreaths and arranging flowers. It was absolutely no surprise when she started flicking that fan brush and produced a happy little pine tree Bob Ross would have been proud of.
