Artists, Poets and More

One of the first presents that I remember Grandma giving to me was a drawing pad with instruction on how to draw simplified animals and figures. I know she had high hopes. I was always amazed how she could take a blank piece of paper and make it come to life with just a few strokes of her brush. 

And Grandpa’s drawing board was such a mystery of lines and charts and numbers. 

Both Grandma and Grandpa were remarkably creative and set a pattern for all of us to follow in our own way.  Here are a few things from the attic that remind us of our wonderful heritage of creative work and discipline.
