A Grandmother's Dream

Some people only dream of owning a work of art. On a visit to the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh, I viewed the children of royal families in their finery and became more determined to have a portrait of my grandchildren dressed in white Battenberg lace. In July 1998, with two grandchildren from Baton Rouge, Louisina, and two from Cary, North Carolina, I arrived in Burlington for the photo session with our artist Lyndia Kleeberg. Two mothers and two grandmothers dressed the four "angels' and left them with Lyndia to perform her miracles. Now, I awaken and go to sleep each day with a view of the portrait of my grandchildren.

Never will I regret the time, energy, or money spent on this dream, for that dream has been forever captured as a work of art.
