Best Handwriting

[heather.pierce]

My grandmother has beautiful penmanship.  She is a retired 2nd grade teacher.  My 12-year-old cousin has very nice handwriting as well, being under her tutelage. 

My handwriting was formerly terrible--scratchy, thin, and slanted (like Dad's!).  I began to change it in fifth or sixth grade, and my teacher's lowercase a inspired me further in eighth grade.  It is now a thing of beauty, after pages and years of shapes, circles, and straight lines.  Mom's is neat, too.  Very warm.
