Pookie as Scout...

There is a little story behind this. Almost 20 years ago, my daughter starred as Scout Finch in our local community theater's version of "To Kill a Mockingbird". It was her zenith as an actress; she WAS Scout. I couldn't have been a prouder mom. Yet she had no desire to pursue acting, instead concentrating on her goal to become a music teacher (which she achieved). And I still couldn't be a prouder mom of my daughter's accomplishments in her life! I say this with great humility as she is a gift from God and He blessed her with great talent that she uses for others with much joy!

After Pookie was lovingly customized by Christine (fortydollywinks), she looked so much a deadringer for the character that I was tempted to rename her Scout even though she could be nothing other than a Pookie to me! However I felt compelled to go on the hunt to best replicate Scout's outfit from the movie version of the character, because I was dying to see her dressed like that. Finally, when I found the Skipper shirt, all the pieces came together, and voila! So, this picture is dedicated both to my daughter, Larissa, and to Christine for giving Pookie a face to die for xxx
