Since we’re driving from California to Indiana rather than flying, we chose a few, well maybe more than a few, like, 12 or so?!, paintings by Mom to take with us to decorate our rental home for the year. She said she was thrilled to have us take them, all but one having been stored for years and years, Dad said 30 years! But that wasn’t enough, she wanted us to have one of a flower, so she pulled one off the wall, it’s a beaut! She and I chose a seascape to take its place over the guest bed. What a blessing to have a Mom with such talent and so generous and willing to have us abscond with her stock!
Dad and Roy bundled and padded them and seat belted them into our car for a safe trip. Our new, well new to us, car is probably the smoothest ride we’ve ever owned. So those paintings will feel like they’re in first class – we sure do, nothing compared to recent trips over bumpy roads in Africa, where we cover about 60 miles in 4 hours!
