So right ..
CatLady is today's heroine for me. Semi-bored with the bogy weather and browsing the Shorpy photos when I came upon this one that I wouldn't have spent very long viewing. At least without her expanding and posting the lady holding the beautiful little girl that does seem to be enjoying her older company -- perhaps a sibling. It just brightened my day and I'm glad I came by here today.
Baby face!
So many stories going on in this photo. But what really got to me was the sweet face of the baby smiling down at the toddler.
