Painted Stories Make for Colorful Tales....


Above, I painted a story about my Grandmother during the depression and how she made hundreds of little pies and my Dad and his older brother would take them out in cardboard boxes and sell them to factory workers and anyone who would buy them. She made awesome pies and always had an idea of how to help the family through her skills. She was alot of fun and adored the seven kids and all of us Grandkids too. I even put in her famous raisin pie....(
delicious if you love raisins like I do).
