Free Art Friday 21/10/11 - Beauty in the Brokenness...photo from Disaster Relief work

Well, I am still debating the name.  F-Art definitely had the most support but then I get a story and picture like the one below and the name does not seem to fit somehow.  I will think about it further.  In the meantime, here is a great pic below taken by my friend Cheri while she was on a Disaster Relief trip helping clean up houses after flooding in Vermont.  I have also included a note from Bob Rankin, who was also on the trip, describing the pic.
Totally candid. totally cool:

The first is one of an elderly woman named Verna who Cheri took a few snaps of when she noticed her at the library in Montpelier.  When the woman realized Cheri was taking her picture she was caught in this shy expression.  The rest of the story is when Cheri talked to her she found out she lived alone, just scraping by and her family never came to visit.  Cheri, Louise and Janet decided to take her a grocery box and began searching all over town for her.  They finally found a young couple who knew her.  They told her that she once was the local church organist and that they would deliver the groceries the next day as it was now quite late at night.  So that is the story of pic # 1
