Grandparents.
Most of us had grandparents we knew, or felt we knew through family stories, or had surrogate grandparents and many of us were impacted by these people. Good. Bad. Happy. Sad. Funny. Not so funny.
​
Let’s start the new year looking back on some of the people who helped shape our lives. We all have a story to tell. Even if it’s a sentence or two.
​
Our local artist in January will be Laura Benjamin . “In my own work I primarily hope to excite the viewer through humor, color and rhythm.” And that she does wonderfully with acrylics and mixed media. The talk will be as engaging as her work.
So, start remembering, folks. All of us will simply be remember pieces of our past. Nostalgia is a good thing.
