Thank you very much for the kind words and thumbs, and special thanks go out to Bonehead, Fleur569, Marilyn, and pardalinum for the
s. Frankly, after some spectacular banners of late, I was rather trepidatious about it, thinking you'd all find it a snoozer. I was most glad for your effluent warmness.
(Oh, and in my tradition, this Sunday we light the pink candle of joy so it is rather apropos of the season!)
