Is that young lady in the second pic standing in the Elysian Fields, I wonder?

They were just kidding around and Demeter took seriously something poked in fun.

VW, I noticed that....it does seem that second image was at least a few months post-Virginal.

Too expensive for what they are.
Good ol' fashioned stove top cookies are my weakness.
