Thank you Leanne, Terry, and Adilson for your kind and supportive and loving comments!

I'm not sure I've quite got this down yet, but it is a vast improvement over the original and over the jpeg!!!!

This is another picture taken right after Graham's piano recital.

I hope you three and everyone else on BP has a wonderful holiday season!!! CHEERS to you all! :-) Mary

PS lets also remember the people in New Orleans and other less fortunate places and send them some cheer, too!! #2181943
