Viva la strong women!

Started a new project that I'm hoping proves to be both thought provoking and challenging. I visited my grandmother and took plaster casts of her hands, hoping to then take casts of three other generations of women (mom, me and the Bean) to make some sort of three dimensional hand thingies. What, I'm not sure. Casting my grandmother's hands was pretty inspirational. My grandmother is the most successful entrepreneur I know. She claims that her mother Lucille was even better, but since I don't remember Lucille, I'm going to ignore that claim. My grandmother built an empire with the MLM Shaklee. That is seriously hard work. Right at this moment, she is winding down after a couple of strokes and various health problems. Despite that, she is one supremely stylish, beautiful and amazing lady. I take the Bean (my daughter) to visit, but not nearly enough. Unfortunately, the Bean is only 3.5 and probably will have as little memory of her great grandmother as I do of mine. That makes me sad and determined at the same time. The legacy will be preserved! More about the strong women of my family later.
