Frank Burns, "It is nice to be nice to the nice."

About 3 to 5 years ago I was talking with one of my neighbor's daughter and she said that she was looking @ some Georgia O'Keefe stuff ... she would have been 11 or 12 then .... so I lent her a book with a bunch of O'Keefe pictures in it and well today I noticed that she had done a multi colored chalk pastel drawing of a flower and put it in the book when she returned it. It is awesome. So I went and got a frame and gave it back to her and her family.

She turns 16 or 17 this December. I hope she keeps up her artwork. She is taking on line college and Sr. level high school work now and she loves to walk my young lab too.

Btw I am also giving her the Georgia O'Keefe book too.

Sorry to ramble.

museum in Santa Fe. Some of her pictures were provocative? The ones I’d seen before were just flowers. What two wonderful gifts!
