Family Ties - In or Out?

Judy, Don, a couple of cousins, and I just had a fascinating weekend, meeting with Roger, the curator of an art gallery in Concord, NH. He is a wonderful young man, very enthusiastic about Grandma Layton and showing her work. We have settled on a date, October 4th, it will last until the end of the year. So now we are gathering drawings that will be exhibited. Roger pairs artists, for Grandma's show he has paired her drawings with two international ceramic artists - it will be epic! Judy, Cousin Anne, and Don will be going to the exhibit, so we will be well represented. Judy and I am in charge of shipping the drawings to the gallery, and the plan is to get them there by the middle of August. I also plan on selling my drawing at the exhibit (King and Queen playing card),

it's not being viewed as it should in my house out in the sticks, and Grandma would be happy about that. So, if my estranged kids are ready to come back to the family fold, just let me know if you want to be part of this artistic adventure. You can sell a drawing or two, if you want, or they will be returned at the end of the year. Either way, you have this opportunity to connect with my side of the family, and the wonderful legacy we share.

Good afternoon, I’m very interested in seeing the show, but the name of the gallery was not listed. Would you share that with us? I want to make sure I get to go. I live about 50 minutes from Concord, New Hampshire. I am also in the field of mental health, counseling and expressive arts therapy, and believe without a doubt that the Arts can and will be able to save the world!!!

    If an inquisitive somebody were to demand a DNA analysis be done on the 3 sisters, he may not be surprised to find those twisted strands are coated with a healthy dose of printer's ink, given our pedigree and the many literary contributions from our maternal ancestors:
