from the Rediscovered Women Series
"Norman Rockwell painted 'Waiting on the Shore' in the summer of 1918, on the eve of the Armistice ending what was then called the Great War. It is easy to imagine that when this work appeared in the old Life Magazine, it immediately captured the hearts of a nation anxiously waiting for its young men to return from the trenches of Europe. Even today 'Waiting on the Shore' is a powerful statement of fidelity and patience that transcends time and speaks to us across many generations." [Kathleen Grant, some random quote I found via the internet]
Look how cute! Now I am like your funny little grandmother, offering you Werther's and chammomile tea when you come to visit me on Sunday afternoons, pottering around the house in a floral dress, dusting ceramic knickknacks and humming Lawrence Welk tunes. Love it.
