Celebrity Sighting

While taking an early-morning shuttle to the airport in Atlanta, my husband gave up his seat on our crowded bus to an attractive older woman. She accepted his offer and mentioned to me how kind he was. My husband then proceeded to give her husband one of his gloves to grip the freezing cold pole with. (They were both standing.) At this, the lady was amazed and again commented to me about his kindness. We began conversing, and the short of it is that she was (is) Marjolein Bastin, the well-known Dutch artist! She is known worldwide for her detailed nature paintings. She is perhaps best known for her 30-year association with Hallmark cards. Of course, I had nothing with me for her to sign or sketch on. We talked about her painting and her love of nature before we were dropped off at the airport and went our separate ways. It was a fun way to start our trip.
