Friday I was scrolling through an estate sale post on Facebook when I came upon this picture:
A - Great books.
B - the picture on the wall was one I recognized as being identical to one that hung in my paternal Grandmother's office.
It was the latter that spurred me into action. I messaged, asking them the price and to hold it for me, then drove a half hour to pick it up.
Now I did buy a heap of books too. Truthfully, it was like attending my own estate sale, so closely did his book collection resemble my own. But I was ecstatic to get the picture.
It has Kosciuszko, George Washington, and Pulaski in the center, and the US and Polish flags. From what I remember the music is that of Chopin, the solar system represents Copernicus, and the chemical formula Madame Curie - all Polish greats.
I intend to hang this Monday in my own office, and do so with pride!
