This is the picture I was taking in my dream...a picture of my grandmother's house. My grandmother was a phenomenal woman. She believed in working hard and equal rights for everyone. You have to understand, i grew up in the deep south so for her to accomplish the things that she did in the time that she did took a woman of courage, strength, and much Godly wisdom. Recently I was honored to prepare a display dedicated to her that is now mounted in the Rosa Parks Museum in Montgomery, Alabama. She was inducted into a Women's Hall of Fame because of her pioneering accomplishments in the child care profession. My grandmother was an amazing woman. Very small in stature and quiet spoken, but my did she carry a big stick! Even after my grandfather passed, she farmed alone in addition to working as the director of her day care center and monitoring over 85 homes that had daycare centers as well. I don't know where she found the energy.
