What a sweet story, Starr. I had a BIG mauve chair with flat arms that I stuffed myself and each of my children in to read stories to. It has the same fond memories for me, but alas, I had to throw it out finally a year or so ago. I should have gotten the wooden rocker I was thinking about when the first one was a baby!

What a beautiful old chair. The song brings back memories, too, it was one of my grandfather's favorites.

:-D I also love the song and sing it still! And your "quick sketches" never fail to blow me away!

Thanks for the comment on my self portrait BTW - you understood exactly what I meant!
