Description

Framed and matted print of Helen Bradley entitled, Waiting for Grandpa.  Helen always had a story to accompany her paintings:


On Friday afternoons we went with Grandpa to the farm in St. Michaels. Grandpa liked to visit the Farmer and he bought apples, eggs and home cured ham. Mother, the Aunts, Miss Carter (who wore Pink) and Mr. Taylor (the Bank Manager) also George and I, and sometimes Mrs. Maitland and Emily liked to walk along the path besides the river. Mother said that if we walked along the path we were safe from cows, but, "Oh dear, what ever shall we do" cried Miss Carter, "Just look at those cows, how ever shall we get past them", but Mr. Taylor said "Come along, Iv'e got my stick and we'll be alright", Mother said, after we were safely past the cows, "I don't know what ever we would do without Mr. Taylor, He's so very kind", and the year was 1906.
