I keep seeing this on my reader and wondering why I like it so much. I feel I ought to find it sentimental and Christmas card-ish - but I don't. Maybe it's the under-arm organ which reminds me of folk singers, or maybe its that she doesn't have a round face in the way cherubs do. Nice, anyway. Like Cathy, I hope you're ok.
