Sherry looks to either be stepping out for the evening or returning from a night of dancing. I love the tilt of her head. Really lovely, Jacki! :-)

Thanks, John. This is an oldie, I made it for Sherry's birthday. She's a special lady.

Love "Sherry" and I also love all these excellent photos. I saw some figure skating performances on YouTube - just wonderful.
Jacki, I don't know such a show you mentioned.

Thank you, Elenor. Never mind about Jeopardy, I just thought you might have a version of this gameshow in Austria, no matter.
Are you taking an online class now? Happy Friday!
