Creativity - What do we get from our families?

I think I get my creativity from my father. He was extremely creative in anything he built. That creativity must've come from his mother - my grandmother whom my sister & I referred to as Nannie :)
Nannie taught me about cooking & sewing & gardening & making up games and how to play cards & how to make snap dragons to talk & how to shoot watermelon seeds between your fingers & collect fall leaves. The time we spent at her house is filled with loving memories. She was very creative & fun & kind & generous & we loved her for it. She was a wonderful soul.

Washington Auto Show - Freedom Behind the Wheel

Went to the Washington Auto Show today to spend some time with family at Freedom Behind the Wheel. They have the most awesome simulation setup showing how their pedal-less driving works using the steering wheel they've developed. All controls, including pedal controls are at the drivers fingertips on the steering wheel. I am so impressed and proud of them. Their goal is to help wounded vets be able to drive, including to drive a race car. The Downey's passion for this is wonderful  :)
