I was wondering if you knew that, on ...Dear Cora,<br /> I was wondering if you knew that, on my first Christmas in the Bornemann family, your Grandma Marly took all 3 of her daughters-in-law into her art gallery. She said that we could pick any one of her paintings as a gift from her! WOW. The one I chose was very similar to this one. However, it burnt up in our house fire several years later.<br /> Several years after that, I saw this one and offered to buy it from Marly if she ever wanted to sell it. She didn't want to sell it so I just longed for it for a long time.<br /> I can't even recall what made her change her mind. She decided on her own one year to give it to us after all and your papa and I were sooooooooo happy. I'm glad that you like it too as a part of my still longs to have a sleigh ride and that painting is almost like the real thing.<br /> Wouldn't it be so wonderful to hear the sleigh bells ringing on the harnesses and go swooshing over the snow on a moonlit night? That would be so awesome!<br /> Thanks for sharing this painting and good night my dear!<br /> MomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6667659018837207033.post-89773711540186291072010-02-09T15:07:24.229-06:002010-02-09T15:07:24.229-06:00What a lovely painting, Cora!
