guest blogger: my amazing grandma

Hello to you all. :)
hello hello.

today, i'd like to share some insight and beauty from my Grandma.

she's given me permission to share all of this with you.

I get these incredible emails from her every few weeks that say "4 pictures for you"... "11 pictures for you"... and they always have a little shimmer of beauty in them. Most of the time the photos have a funny little quirk, most of the time the average person wouldn't have noticed what my Grandma notices... and I have realized that I get a lot of my vision from her. I never really knew it until she started sending me these photo-email-gifts... but I really can see my seeing-DNA in the way that my Grandma Marilyn sees the world. She sees things uniquely, and I love that.

Her and my Grandpa Alf travel all over Canada in an a 5th wheel RV. I'm in awe of their ability to be constant-campers. I could never do it. (shhhhhhh: i like hotels better)

her caption for this was: "my new car..... I WISH"

here she is with the most amazing bushes ever,and this is my grandpa cleaning the 5th wheel!

Here's her explanation to me about the next series, entitled: My friends - the hay bales.

"I noticed them the first day we went to the farm.
We had been in a very noisy, busy camping situation.

If I looked out my window I saw chubby ladies taking chubby dogs (with hair bows) for potty walks. Kids on bikes flew through the camp, old guys with walkers or canes tottered by - up and back up and back - and cars or trucks went by and threw up the dust all day.

It was so relaxing to go to the farm and the only thing were the hay bales. I liked them immediately - they were quiet and stately. I began noticing that they changed personalities with the time of day or weather."
