<p>[QUOTE="Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 10291412, member: 23"]That's what I was thinking. I almost want to frame them and add them to one of my own art shows. If only she'd had more encouragement when she was younger. Her life was pretty grim and I ended up living with her and her parents off and on when my mother couldn't care for me. As a child, you take everything for granted and don't realize it was bizarre until you're an adult. She took me to a lot of fascinating places, but....we would sleep in the car. She'd say, Let's go to Montreal and off we'd drive, spend a few days and drive home. She was single and had a decent office job so I'm sure we could have stayed in a motel, but she preferred driving down a country lane and 'camping'. We went to the World's Fair in New York when I was 14 and she was 22 and slept in the car for a week in the parking lot. Imagine that today. The Florida pavilion guys let us in every morning and we used the staff bathrooms to freshen up. We never bought a ticket and we got to stay in the park at night after the gates closed. It was magical, but could have been dangerous![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
