To Meme, With Love
original watercolor, 18 x 24
We found this old photograph, taken when my husband's
grandmother was about 17. Everybody called her Meme, and she was
widely known for her hospitality. I never learned the skills that
seemed to come so easily to her, but I was always grateful for how
she made me feel at ease when I was a new bride 2000 miles away
from home. The book the photographer used as a prop has been given
the title as an inscription in the painting, a special dedication
to a special lady. My husband said he'd pay me to never sell this
painting, so I agreed. I have yet to see the check.
