Hi Lynn! It was exactly a children's hospital that I had in mind! Racoons are sweet and their dense fur makes them quite cuddly. I like the mask on their face, too. ~ I hope you too will have a lovely and blessed Easter:) Regards // paul

Yes, Jan, Valentins liked the poem, but she was sorry for the sick girl (she caught on after she understood what 'wan' meant). Hugs // paul
