Happy Birthday, Granny
Granny would have been 80 years old today. Above is her engagement picture, from the summer of 1948. Everyone always thought she looked like Jackie O…only prettier.
What a wonderful life she led. Yes, that’s her at the steering wheel of that Jeep! I picture her and her sisters growing up like the Ya Ya Sisterhood. This is why our family is full of such powerful, take-charge women!
Only as she got older did we discover she had special artistic talent: and in watercolor, the most difficult medium. Granny painted this ocean scene in 1998, when she was already in an assisted living facility.
We miss you, Granny.
