One more thing...in picture #13 "the little ladies man"...Are YOU wearing petti pants under that Easter dress and slip??? I thought I saw a ruffle or two...reminds me of the pink "petti" pants I had as a young girl...some call them bloomers...but we called the Petti Pants...don't know why.
Blessings...
