WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR FEBRUARY 2014

Happy February everyone! Page 3 already!
It's very wet and windy here - walking the dogs - their ears were flying behind them and we were just walking, battling against the wind! We only stayed out 20 mins instead of the usual hour + !! It was definitely enough!
I've had an interesting week - it started on Monday with the funeral of a friend who died suddenly earlier in the month - standing room only in the church, What a beautifully moving celebration of her life.
Then on Tuesday I went with others from my dog training centre to the TV studios in Manchester when our friend was taking part in a TV programme with her dog! It was fascinating to see a TV programme being made! A long tiring day but an experience that I won't forget in a hurry!
Also, at work the review of support staff hours has meant that I will be losing hours in the next academic year. The information came out this week. Having thought about it I am actually looking forward to being able to have more 'me' time and still keep a job I love doing! I will be able to take the dogs out in the afternoon instead of at night!'
I had a lazy morning curled up with a book! With the wind howling round the bay window, it seemed the best thing to do - and it was such a good story - I didn't guess the end right up until the last paragraph!
Let's hope that by the end of the month the weather is kinder to us all wherever we are in the world!
Rejoicing with those of you with good news and prayers for those of you who need them. I do love reading your posts! Keep drinking water, eating well and moving more and we'll all have a fabulous February!

February 1st and already 3 pages in the making! oh my goodness! I popped over to share my goals so I haven't done much catching up yet but I will. Time is limited for now so forgive me please.
Tina, that planking was too funny! I would be the one in the bottom photo for sure!
Jane, I am planning to be in Denver on Tuesday the 18th and leaving on Wednesday the 26th. Much of how much I get around while in Denver will depend on DH's cooperation as we will be driving SD's car. But a meetup would be great if doable.
FEBRUARY GOALS: 1) 50 minutes of activity/exercise 4 days a week 2) no eating after 7 pm 3) fast 1 day a week (will drink water)
I did get in my 50 minutes of activity/exercise for the day - I had my sweet grandson early this morning and he is like wrestling with 22 lbs of joy :bigsmile: Everyday Health has a calories calculator for playing with a child or pet :laugh:
Oh, if you haven't seen the MetLife Peanuts video for Super Bowl Sunday here's the YouTube link: it's awesome!
http://youtu.be/Ic0goo-y4tA
Did you know that Ground Hog day and Super Bowl fall on the same day for the first time? Maybe he can tell us who will win the Super Bowl.

Laurel, I just caught that you lost 12 pounds in January; that is wonderful and so is ONEDERLAND!!! It had been alluding me for several years and I finally saw it again. :bigsmile: Keep up the good work.0

Joyce and Sylvia: I double-checked. My baking soda has sodium but not aluminum. My baking powder has sodium aluminum bicarbonate. Sorry for the mix up.:ohwell: If you have aluminum free baking powder, I need to find out what brand you’re using.:flowerforyou:
LinC: Right now it needs to be all about you. No apologies should be needed here or elsewhere. Log your calories, log your steps, and look at the future with hope.:flowerforyou:
:flowerforyou:
Karen from NY and Marise: Welcome.:flowerforyou:
LaurelFisher: Dogs make excellent walking buddies. Congratulations on your success. Welcome. :flowerforyou:
Sue in SD: Happy Birthday!:flowerforyou:
Yanniejannie: I am so happy that Linda’s memorial service left you feeling more at peace and that she had many friends there.:flowerforyou:
Barbie: It sounds as though Bernie the cat is a massage therapist. I had a cat who was a medical practitioner. She gave great massages and also served as a feline heating pad when I had cramps during my TOM. :bigsmile: We like cooking whole chickens, too. We usually bake them in the oven, but occasionally boil them.:flowerforyou:
Alison: Glad to hear your brother is getting off to a good start. You are so good at supporting people who need it. I’m proud to know you.:flowerforyou:
Texasgal: Welcome to onederland!:flowerforyou: :bigsmile: :flowerforyou:
I am home after an association meeting where I finished my term as secretary. :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: I declined to run again and have already turned my things over to the person who is taking over my position. I am so relieved. I’ve done this for years and it is good to be “retired.”:flowerforyou:

February goals:
1. Log every bite and swallow.
2. Move more: cardio at least 3 days a week and strength training as soon as I am able.
3. Water: According to an article I saw on facebook, drinking water at certain times maximizes its effectiveness for the body. I’ll work toward following these guidelines:
* 2 glasses of water after waking up - helps activate internal organs
* 1 glass of water 30 minutes before a meal - helps digestion
* 1 glass of water before taking a bath - helps lower blood pressure
* 1 glass of water before going to bed - avoids stroke or heart attack0 -
holy cow, page 3 already....
Weigh in this morning...lost 2 lbs. check it out ... 81 lbs lost woooooohoooooo :happy: :happy: :happy:
Welcome to the new women.
Pat - yay welcome back, it's so good to hear from you.
I hope to catch up with all the posts tomorrow. Sandy from snowy ON 0 -
Barbie, one of my resolutions has been to acquire a taste for yogurt; the other day I finally finished the cup of yogurt for the first time. Next shopping I will buy one more and hope to finish it too. All the best with your yoga venture.
Thanks Katla; having not been there in about 7 years I am working hard to keep it going. :happy:
Off to watch When Calls the Heart! a great start to February.
Plano, Teral0 -
yannijanni, I hate it that I put someone in tears:laugh: I love thinking about my childhood. I feel very fortunate that I had such a loving supportive family, then and now. Not everyone has that.
I usually don't do this but here goes. We are planning on going to the Myrtle Beach area for summer vacation with the family. We have found that renting a house is the best way to do it. We have never done the condo thing but might be willing to try it. Because we were wanting June because it is a little cooler and would be better with my MS the prices are pretty high. So my daughter who helps me so much with travel arrangements suggested I ask my different forum buddies that I have come to trust if they might have a summer home that they rent out. The reason I would rather have a house than a condo is that with a condo you have neighbors, you can't be spontaneous in going to the beach. It has to be more planned, get everything together, get on an elevator with a wet body with who knows who. But maybe I would enjoy it.
My daughter wants to come over and watch the Super Bowl tomorrow night, plan a dinner to have and everything. So I may be going over calories tomorrow, not sure. Will have to make sure that I get my all exercise in before the game since my bike is upstairs and our big screen is in the family room downstairs, Charlie's man cave! :laugh: We really don't like football but if she wants to do it and offered it then we will.
Some one asked how we get our cute little faces etc on our posts. It is one of our new ladies. When you are making your post up in the upper right corner is 'add smiley'. Click on that and you will see them
See you later, Joyce, Indiana0 -
Hi gang. Cold with some snow today. I got an entire chapter done and sent off today, went to see dad, exercised, and did my nails! Oh and I went with Leonard to take his jeep in for the lift in preparation for our trip this summer. Pretty productive day!
Leonard’s cousin had to have more surgery on the other side of his brain and they did a CT that showed a laceration in his spleen. They are trying to wean him off the ventilator which would be good. He did fine for about an hour then they had to sedate him, so put him back on. The pressure in his head is good and he opened his eyes once. So a little better today. Thank you for all your good wishes!
Donnaanne: I love my ice water but in the morning I’m with you…blech!
Jb: your life does sound busy! Wow!
Michele: wow you sure were running around today! That would exhaust me!
Sylvia: yes Bert is at Freeman. I didn’t think they were a level 1 trauma center though. But it seems he is getting good care.
When I can get straight answers out of his family it all sounds reasonable.
Linda: hi and welcome I had a friend who used to live in Jerome. What a lovely part of the country
Susan: oh no!!!! Now I want crusty bread dipped in drippins!
Patsy welcome back. Better choices come day by day
Nancy: great job on being so committed and on your weight loss
Anamika: your park sounds lovely!
Renny: glad mom seems perkier!
Heather: oooh zucchini tots ! Can you share the recipe
DeeDee: I am so sorry for your loss Hugs to you my friend
Askewcr: welcome aboard!
Linda: do you have a good diabetic cookbook? I can’t seem to find one I like
JoAnn: welcome to our group!
Pat! Welcome back! We missed you
Patricia & Karen: welcome aboard
Jill: woo hoo fewer meds! What a victory!!!
Barbie thank you for the thread.
Feb goals:
Stick to my eating and exercise plan
Drink that damn water!
6000 steps a day, 10 minute walk at lunch
Do something I enjoy once a week.
Ok gals I have to run. I got interrupted several times so I know I missed a few. Hugs to all. Take care, Meg from snowy Omaha0 -
Oh, Joyce.........I just got kind of misty; it was evident it was such a good memory for you!!!........and it could probably be chalked up to being more emotional with Linda's service being today, I've done more than my share of crying all day. So, don't feel bad!!!
Laurelfisher..........Don't know how I missed it, saw someone else mention it...........You lost 12 pounds in Jan.???? WOW!!! that is fantastic.........bravo for your hard work and excellent results!!!
G'nite again!

Katla, I have two containers of baking powder.
Rumford brand has: monocalcium phosphate, sodium bicarbonate, and cornstarch.
Featherweight brand has: monocalcium phosphate, potato starch, and potassium bicarbonate.
The Featherweight one came from the health food store and was about 5 times the price of the sodium version.
Sylvia0 -
Did an hour of yoga on the Wii using the My Fitness Coach. What's nice about it is that you can set the time of your workout (15min, 30, 45, 60, 90). The bad part is that when they marketed it, I don't think they did any user-testing because there are times (like in down dog) when you aren't looking at the TV and there's no way to know when you should come out of a pose. Well, it's good for something different.
Tomorrow I'm planning to do an hour of balance games on the Wii.
Susan - I guess I got home around 3:30. I remember my grandmother used to take the bacon drippings, run them thru a sieve, and use the grease for frying punchke (?sp) and crusckiki.
Linda - welcome! 20 days of logging is a good start, then you'll be doing another 20 and then another and before you know it, it'll be a habit.
Patsy - There are diaries that I would like to see opened, too. I'm always on the lookout for new and different foods to have and many many times looking at someone's diary gives me a good idea
Nancy - when is your birthday? Congrats on the loss. Great that you were able to give so much up. Baking powder/soda are in so many things, that must have been hard. I gave up white flour a few years ago, and today I don't have any sort of craving at all. I probably should give up sugar, but I've just been able to have less. I'm not crazy about sugar substitutes, that's probably the main reason. I don't think I could give up meat entirely, but I really don't care for red meats. Oh, I eat them, just not crazy about them. For the breads, what about yeast?
swat - I don't think I'd completely give up on MFP. I know myself that when I get out of the habit of measuring my food, even tho I think I'm doing fine, it is just so, so easy to over-gesstimate. Maybe you could cut down, but I wouldn't stop altogether. I totally agree with Amanda
Heather - I, too, need to follow a recipe. Bryan is good for just "throwing this and that in" and it comes out delish. My father was the same way. Not me. I need a recipe but I do have to take a little taste here and there to see if it needs more spices.
DeeDee - how very sad for your friend. I can't imagine losing one of my children, either, much less a grandchild
askewcr - welcome!
katla - I did the same thing -- dumped my aluminum cookware years ago and have replace it with stainless steel. I've even started using that green organic pots that have a non stick coating. It's not the Teflon (that can be nasty stuff, too). I forget what it's called.
Sylvia - I've done that before, gone to deep water class and forgotten my bra and/or underwear.
JoAnne - welcome
patricia - welcome to a group of women who know EXACTLY what you are going thru and are more than happy to share their thoughts
karen - welcome!
Marise - welcome! Yes, just posting here puts you in the group!
Rose - welcome back! Your puppy sounds adorable
Jill - how wonderful that you are off all your medds
Sue in SD - happy belated birthday. Hope you had a wonderful day. Have a good dinner tonight and great massage Tuesday
Fabulous Fifty - of course you can join us! We're glad to have ya
Linda - you made me smile -- the new exercise shoveling s**t
yanniejannie - so glad the service was so nice
Kay - glad those Cadbury eggs are still on the store shelf. You don't need them. You SHOULD be feeling good
Jane in CO - I wish the best for your daughter
Barbie - many times when I'm doing yoga in my exercise room, one of the cats seems to think that I make a good bridge....lol
Sandy - awesome weight loss. How long has it taken you? WTG!
Meg - I just found my "Fix It and Forget It Diabetic Cookbook". It's for the crockpot. There are some recipes in there that I'm going to try.
Michele in NC0 -
Well, dang! No wonder it was so quiet over in the other thread! :blushing:
This is to mark my spot so I won't get left behind again...Thanks, Barbie, for the link!0 -
The Rumford Brand does not contain aluminum. That is the brand I buy. It should say aluminum free on the container.0

Hi everyone!
I am still pretty sick, have been all week. So this is very short.
Jill: HUGE CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!:drinker:
Kay, and everyone, thanks for the input on my daughter and school!
I re=read my original post and realized it did sound like the winter weather and cold was a huge factor for me not wanting her to go to Chicago. Hubby and I both really want our kids to spread their wings, and distance is not a factor, and the weather is a small part of the decision, pretty small. But since she hates to be cold, it IS a factor. She had not really done research on the school, she had just heard you "get a feeling" whether or not it's the right school for you, when you visit. She kept thinking one was just going to feel perfect, or magical, or something. Seriously. She just was "too busy" to spend the time to research what things are really important to HER, on the ones she applied to. So There has been a lot of time spent in the past few days on student reviews of her two major choices, and she found out several things that changed her mind on the IL one. A huge thing for her is food choices: healthy ones, and for her being a vegetarian, extra important. She would have to purchase their expensive meal plan both freshman and sophomore years, and many people gave the food bad reviews, and especially few vegetarian choices. That along with several other factors made her decide against it.
Thanks again for your support, everyone, and I learn a lot from reading ideas from others, even though i have done this journey on health many times.
One goal I have is to share more tips with everyone here.

:flowerforyou: I gave up baking when I started this most recent weight loss journey. It was part of my plan to find recreation in ways that didn’t involve food. I am fortunate that my husband has been willing to support my journey and continues to work at improving his own health. He eats at restaurants about once a week with different friends so he can entertain himself with food without my having to join in.
:flowerforyou: Jake bought two bags of chips for himself to eat with the salsa he makes as his treat for the Super Bowl. We’ll have a Simple Truth Organic feta and spinach pizza for our big meal as a special treat. Barbie from beautiful NW Washington

Hello all:drinker:
Laurelfisher :bigsmile: congrats! Happy dance with you
Heather
you are such a charmer! Love the picture of flowers outside and your jug of flowers in the kitchen
Jill:drinker: that’s super! You get to be medicine free
Skuehn58 :drinker: :flowerforyou: Happy birthday! Your tryst with the pretermer is straight out of TV ! Super thought about our 2 hands
Linda
nice to see you again
Sylvia quite amused with your story :laugh:
Yanniejannie I am always impressed with the way you care for others. Kudos
Kay :bigsmile: great choice leaving the chocs in the store.
Barbie:bigsmile: your choice of starting out with yoga once a week is great slowly you may increase it. Your roast chicken sounds great. Its your goals which kick off great response. Thanks!
Janehadji :flowerforyou: congrats to you and your daughter.I would be so proud of a daughter like her too. In fact mine is equally talented academically, she is gifted in music and dance as well and has opted to teach dance. I am happy for her.
Katla :flowerforyou: the 5:2 intermittent fast is based on the fact that the body is forced to use stored fat deposits, exercise continues as usual, it allows for excessive cals on another day like a feast. The underlying philosophy being no feeling of deprivation. As I see it, I have to follow portion control, making good choices and all other nutritional facts we have learnt on mfp, but a certain control that I need to bring over snacking and eating, personally may be inculcated in this regime.
Sandy:flowerforyou: Congratulations! 88 lbs down (Applause)!
Meg you always bring cheer! God bless you
Grandmallie great to hear about your brother
Anamika from Mumbai0 -
trying to get caught up on reading the posts. so many for just one day.
February Goals for me
walk at last 5 days a week
drink my water
log on everyday
log my food everyday
thanks ladies. I think this forum will really help me be more accountable for my actions. hope to get past this plateau I seem to be on. only lost half pound in January. I think I mentioned before, but it is just amazing to me how fast the calories add up when you really start keeping track of EVERY little bit of food you eat
take care ladies.

Kalley: CONGRATULATIONS! 81 pounds lost is an excellent accomplishment.:drinker: :bigsmile: :drinker: :bigsmile:
Joyce: Good luck with your Florida vacation. I hope it all comes together smoothly.:flowerforyou:
Meg: Congratulations on sending off an entire chapter. Best wishes to Leonard’s cousin. “Drink that damn water!” :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I know how you feel. :flowerforyou:
Sylvia & Margaret: Thanks for the baking powder recommendations. I hope I can find one or the other in the stores here. Is the Rumford can a red and silver color? I think I may have seen it.:flowerforyou:
Michele: My mom used bacon grease to fry most things. She had a bacon grease can and put all the extra drippings from frying bacon in it. There was a screened top to filter out the bacon bits so the grease was smooth. It was very tasty, but I not so healthy. Yeast breads are fabulous, but I don’t know of any yeast biscuits. Maybe someone has a recipe.:flowerforyou:
Barbie: Enjoy your Superbowl Pizza. :flowerforyou: I am unlikely to watch. I really watched last year just to see the Budweiser commercial and never saw it during the telecast. I did find it within hours on You Tube. I’ll go to YouTube again!:flowerforyou:
Today I passed along a responsibility to a neighbor and am grateful my turn is over. :bigsmile: Tomorrow DH and I are going to a Murder Mystery dinner theater in Portland at OMSI. It was a Christmas gift from DD and I’m looking forward to it. I hope we have fun. The show starts at 6pm and we’ll probably leave here by four in order to get there with enough breathing room to avoid worry about making it on time. I expect to get home pretty late.

Welcome, Pat. I'm so glad to see you post again.
Congrats to all who reached onederland ! I plan to join you there in 2014, but it may take me a while to get there.
Chiming in about Angel Food Ministries, the founders are from my neck of the woods. It was a huge disappointment when they let such a good ministry go so far, far astray. Our church was heartbroken and has not found a suitable replacement for it.
So sorry about the cousin with a brain injury, the loss of a friend's granddaughter, and the family issues with visitation described ny three of you.
On a good note, I tied my own shoes today! I go back to the dr on Monday and start my physical therapy. Time will heal my problems, so I have much to be thankful for.0 -
Drkatiebug, what happened to the Angle food ministries. I have recommended this to several people. I don't want to lead them to an organization that won't provide them with good food.0

Hi
:drinker: I'm feeling a little inspired - I think I may have lost 1lb :noway: :noway: :drinker: I usually weigh in every night time and then again in the morning ( yes I know - too much weighing) but last night I was down 1lb, I was so shocked I got on and off the scales about 6 times to make sure. Sure enough this morning the pound did not come back (mind you I was hoping it had taken another one with it :bigsmile: ) I wouldn't mind but I had a big slice of pizza last night too
Today I am going to be extra careful and eat well.
As I said I'm feeling inspired and decided to make at least one goal for February. I want to exercise every day. I'm really enjoying the DVD I bought last month - I've even had a go at the plank - gosh that is a hard one - my tummy muscles are non existent - I can last about 5 seconds but I have a rest and join in again. I don't usually set myself goals as I'm rubbish at keeping them. But I want to exercise every day for 28 days - it can't be too hard can it????
:flowerforyou: Loved reading about the memories of childhood, it made me wish I'd had a relative with a farm :laugh: I had a lovely childhood myself - for which I am grateful. DH was not so lucky and grew up in an abusive household as have so many others.
:flowerforyou: Heather - no signs of spring here in Yorkshire, it's so wet up here that I fear we'll grow webbed feet! We had a few hours of sunshine yesterday, but then late afternoon the rain started again, and it was blowing a gale. DD dragged me out to walk the dog with her, I feel a bit of a spare part now we only have the one dog, but she always gets me by saying "think of the calories you'll be using"
:flowerforyou: Michele you are always so busy, and so generous - you always giving food to the neighbours or food kitchens etc It took me a while to understand why your hubby thought you had forgotten where you lived until I read your post again :bigsmile:
:flowerforyou: Barbie thanks for keeping us all together. Enjoy the superbowl treats :drinker:
:ohwell: Better get a move on, so I'll say congratulations to all who are losing - a big well done from me
Prayers to the chap who fell off the ladder
Love to those who are suffering the loss of a loved one
:flowerforyou: Happy Birthday to the lady who's celebrated being 66 (:embarassed: sorry missed your name)
Take care everyone and thanks for being here.

Good morning everyone! :drinker: (coffee)
Grandmallie: glad your brother has a plan. Sure hope he can turn things around! It won't be easy, but maybe he'll feel enough momentum from the friends and the meeting.
Meg: hope the improvement will become a trend (your cousin).
I'm down about a pound again, to 15 (despite the little chocolate accident last night). So happy!
Yesterday I went out to hang up a couple of suet balls and I'm enjoying sitting on the couch with my coffee and laptop, glancing at the birds.
Cynthia0 -
Wow-wee, I turned my back for a day and I'm behind 4+ pages. Did some quick speed reading.
As far as my goals for January, I'm feeling good about tracking my food (and staying within my guidelines) all but a few days for the month. I do not enjoy logging food but understand and believe in the importance of it for those of us trying to lose and improve our health.
I also feel good about getting back in track with my physical activity. While I did 50+ minutes at least 5 times per week, I realize that I need to up the intensity since my metabolism appears to be in a coma.
Sadly, I don't think I lost but maybe a pound or two all month as a result of my efforts.
FEBRUARY:
Stick with food tracking and exercise goals from January.
Increase exercise intensity.
Add more weight training back into exercise time.
Take my D3 regularly.
Lose 5+ pounds.
Get my Skinny Pop habit under control:ohwell:0 -
Good morning ladies
DH has gone off for a full day of hiking so I am at home today. I'm sorting through all my clothes. Golly, I have too many! My local charity shop are going to get a few sacks of (mostly) unworn stuff tomorrow. I wish you lot all lived nearby - we could have a great clothes swap.
I'm trying to eat beetroot. It's one of the few veggie type things that I really dislike but my doctor told me it's good for my gallbladder, so I'm chopping it up and hiding it in with my veggies and couscous. I'm eating four small meals a day now - again, doctor's orders.
Have a good day my friends.
Love to all.
Amanda x0 -
You're definitely doing your best, Amanda! <thumbs up>0

Sorry, my son woke up and I had to run before I could wish everyone a happy Sunday and the strength, will power, determination and grace to exceed their February goals.

Hi you all
Just no time to do all the catch up right now. Hubby should be home from coffee very shortly and I have nothing done nothing:laugh:
Yannie Jeannie
My grandson told me once Gramma god didn't make everyone the same.
So that is where you have a couple great friends that are your opposites.
Kay
Sounds like you picked up great habits in Jan. Now carry them in to Feb.
Barbie
Quinoa/rice is this a blend you buy or do you make your own.
Guess the chicken don't get stuffed.
Jane
Have to love nurse practioners mine is great.
Alison
So glad your brother is working on getting his life together.
And anything we enjoy on this journey is not bad.
We are allowed to live.
MA
A cut back in working hours can be taken in different ways.
I think your way is best. Looking forward to more free time.
Katla
I did a lot of walking in around the house put timer on stove for 5 min.
And walked around in circles Doc don't want me walking more than 5 min. at a time.
Darn pedometer stopped when it got to 600.
So finding more you time letting go of a secretary post.
Sandy
81 lbs New you for sure. Congrats.
Joyce
So your day has been planned for you.
Heck we went to Myrtle beach years ago.
Stayed there overnight going to Louisianna.
Paid 19 dollars for a motel about 1 block from the beach.
That was in Jan. Slow time of the year.
Well that's all the time I have for here right now. Must get started to my day.
Let's make today a great day. Wii smiled at me this morning.
See you all lighter

Joyce, Angelfood Ministries has been shut down and is no longer available. The owners were using the profits for their own gain. I'm not sure if it was considered embezzlement, misappropriation or what the exact terminology was. At the least they were misrepresenting themselves as a non-profit and were profiting greatly. I think they are in prison now. Our church was a distribution point for the food and provided a great service to our community. The people miss it. My DH would never let us donate part of our tithe to it, because he said he didn't trust them. Shows how smart he was. I thought he was just being his usual pessimistic self.
Somebody posted a link to a story about it back in the January thread.0 -
Well I did it!!!! I got up in time to go to church now for the second time. I think I had a pretty decent night's sleep also. I am not used to getting up this early at all. It will take a major change if I ever get up in time for Sunday School. But I know that's the way to get to know the people at a new church. So I am on the computer to help me wake up so I can take a shower. see how you guys are helping me through this!!! You are helping me to wake up:flowerforyou:
drkatiebug, the site I found is something exactly like angle Food but is called eatwellsomething or other. Or something like that. The menu is the same, the whole format is the same. Has multiple distribution sites.
Supposed to start snowing in a couple of hours. Wouldn't a clothes swap be so neat between us!!!!! I love it.
