Break

Its been a nice break.

Spent 3 days or so with my Meme up north.

Got started on a documentary about this amazing painter that went to high school with my grandmother. She spent 30 years teaching art at Cornell and then retired to the backwaters of northern Missouri. She's amazing. I have two of her paintings and my parents have at least 6 more. My grandmother and I went and visited on Tuesday to talk about what I would like to do. What it boils down to is just talking to her and her brother about...anything. They're so interesting its hard to belive that they come from this nowhere out in the sticks called Yarrow.

I'm really excited about it. She's dynamic and wonderful to talk to. We only got to talk for about an hour and a half on Tuesday, but we covered a lot of ground and it felt like we should have been there for much longer than that. I'm not the greatest when it comes to asking questions, but I love to listen. Next time my Mom will go with me and I know she'll have tons of questions.
