I would love that! If you want to quote her directly, her name is Barbara Webster. It was written in “The Color of the Country,” a Pennsylvania newspaper column she wrote for a few years in the 1960s. Either way, we are both honored.
Just beautiful!!! I especially appreciate your post today as I'm beginning to work on a new series of paintings of rooms... the things we surround ourselves with tell stories don't they? And we create these stories...
You didn’t miss it--some gems from the journal will probably appear in a future micro! (Her quote was from one of the columns she wrote for a PA newspaper).
Your work has such a strong spoken-word brilliance to it! I had to read this micro out loud. The rhythm was so delightful.
You are such a great describer! 💜
I'm going to quote you quoting your grandmother in my book.

Gorgeous! I love the ideas in this one. Making room for one's self, reading old newspapers, remembering things said.
There are, ah, very old journals, Jillian...
Really? I think I missed that in the post. Did you get your grandmother's words from her journal?
Oooo looking forward!

I imagine some questions are answered and others are raised.
And sometimes, those that went unanswered for decades begin to materialize the deeper I go.
Beautiful. It's as though she was writing TO you. This is why we write.
Well said!
