I hope you do get out your canvas and oils to paint your grandkids. Sounds like one of those poses that's universal in its appeal. Thank you, my friend "Nightshadow" for such a lovely comment. (I like your avatar... southern Florida?) Look forward to taking another class from you starting next month. :) Oh Gloria… I hope you do get out your canvas and oils to paint your grandkids.

Look forward to taking another class from you starting next month. :)

Although I don't have much time to visit blogs, whenever I pass by yours I always find something sweet or profound or life affirming there. One of my favorite places to visit... Oh yes...btw, Lesson 5 is finished. ;) Ahhh Barb my dear, I was just writing to someone about your talent for the lyric turn of phrase.

I took a few classes in oil painting when my children were young (my youngest is now 39) I really did enjoy doing it altho I was never as good as you are. I do have a photo of two of my great grandchildren kissing good bye at a family gathering it would make a great painting. gloria Love this post, you do have talent.

Thank you. My husband's and my parents have also gone on... I relate completely with your story. My sister recently published a biography of our dad. For over a year we, along with another sister, wrote and shared stories and old photos and newspaper clippings we copied and emailed to each other... memories. Perhaps I'll write a post about that process. It was cathartic at least, as many emotions surfaced and rested, and richly rewarding at best. I'm sure you and your wife had the tissue boxes at hand. Thanks so much for sharing this... You are very kind, Talmadge. Thank you.

Each of us was responsible for their estates. A lot of our time was spent going through old photos found in drawers throughout the houses. It delayed our getting things done, but was well worth all the memories. ps: I envy all your talent and this is a great site. Both my and my wife’s parents have passed away.

My mom used to allow me into her room every year while she "cleaned" out her cedar chest. She lovingly held everything, retold me the stories, wouldn't let me near my dad's letters to her, and then just as tenderly put everything back. I think cleaning time was just memory time.
