This is a picture drawn by my Grandma Audie when she was in her 80's. Grandma was an "original" she was into health food, pressure points and herbal remedies decades before the rest of us knew what was good for us. Nothing was too disgusting to eat or drink if it was in the name of good health. She decided to learn how to ride a bike in her sixties because she never had the chance to learn as a child. When I would stay with her we would ride to Liberty Park and back. In her late seventies - eighties she started to draw, flowers mostly, and then she would type a poem or quote on the page next to it. She gave them to her friends, neighbors and family to brighten there day. She often bore the brunt of our teasing when she would try to dispense her bits of wisdom to us. But in retrospect she was a strong, and a wise woman with great will power. She was a good example to her family in many ways.
