I don't know what you're smokin' girl but you're smokin'!! It almost looks like a Clef I believe it's called in front of a line of notes?? They just get better and better, Lisa. This one is going into the favorite folder.

Wishing you and yours a wonderful Easter honey.

I really appreciate all of your kind comments! Ya know, Ann, I thought it looked like a Clef, too (a little like a treble clef and a little like a bass clef). Almost titled it with that reference, but wondered if my thoughts would be in sync with others. Glad you saw the same thing!
Wishing you all a very blessed Easter!
