What a scream!<BR/><BR/>She really is a very talented artist and has some nice things. Did she paint in both watercolor and oil? It would be neat if you could get someone interested in doing a show of her work while she's still alive. If not a gallery, then maybe an antique shop or antique mall? I think that would be fun for her and for you.<BR/><BR/>Will stop now. Thanks for the tour and the formal introduction to Miss Eleanor. She sounds like my kind of person.
