Hooray for new clothes! I was thinking yesterday that I should try on some of my winter things before it gets cold here in SC..which could be tomorrow or Jan.... My last years wardrobe consisted of 8/10's and now I am wearing all 4/6 and they are loose. So Unless I can alter them I am in trouble. And most were given to me and they are soo cute I hate to not be able to wear them. But I do have a sewing machine..I am just always unsure how to manage the side pockets on slacks. Have a great Sunday...we are off to church this morning and then to dinner at friends house from church which will be fun! In God's love, Joan

Thank you Joan, you are looking great too. I had a wonderful birthday and came out of it with a little money for some clothes. I need some winter colors. Julia

Happy Birthday Julia, Not only are we surgery twins we're almost birthday twins. My 60th birthday is tomorrow. I need to get off this plateau and start losing again. I celebrated my birthday today with a 14 mile bike ride to my surgeons patient appreciation picnic. I never could have done that last year. Jeanne

Hello Rebecca! You really have worked the tool and have done so well. I will always remember our being able to meet before you moved! You are even prettier in person and that is probably because you are so pretty inside. Yes, I cna just imagine criss cross applesauce!! Keep it up. I can't wait till we sell this house and move w/in driving distance of our daughter and her family. In Him, Joan
