Finally got to OFF

Hi to every OFF family member,

      Well, I finally have a computer to use. It's a lap top which I am not use to using. I think it's alive and does'nt like me very much. lol.

      When we arrived in Chicago airspace, we went into a holding pattern due to a bad storm right over the airport. Then when I got outside it was 65 degrees, windy, and raining on me. I had on summer clothes expecting warm and humid weather.  My friend took another 30 minutes to find me. My body was  shivering and my teeth were chattering. Not that I'm complaining.This IS the  "WINDY CITY." 

      Went to Goodwill and found a few long sleeve tops. One was a  size  20. It's been 15 years since I was in this size.  Ding my happy dance!!!  I have to wash them now because I'm going to be at a bonfire tonight. Sitting around the fire and listening to "da Bears" on the radio.
 
     The very next day was 95 degrees and really humid (90%.) I couldn't breathe well outside and my bedroom has no A/C. Yesterday was picture perfect. Those of you in the Midwest have been through a tough summer. Actually, everyone has had an unusually hard summer to deal with. Hope everyone is enjoying better weather.

       Will try to catch up on posts over the next few days. Love and  (((BIG HUGS)))) to all,    Mag     P.S. Great to be spending time with friends and family

Whoo hoo!  Hurray for size 20!  Mag, I just cleaned out my closet and have some nice things in size 20/22, 2X.  Would you like to have them?  I was going to donate them to the Women's Shelter, but would much rather give them to a friend.  PM me when you get a chance. 

Enjoy your trip!

Thanks so much. I would love them. Sent you a PM.    Mag

Hello Mag.....glad you made it safely and have now warmed up!!

Yes,  I have learned to pack for all kinds of weather. It can be hot, hot, hot, and the next day it is cold. I never take a chance.

Congrats on the smaller sizes....that is awesome!!!!

Have a wonderful time with friends and family!!

Thanks Connie,
   It feels great to see everyone. And Green Grass. It's beautiful.   I'm thrilled about getting into smaller sizes. I was a very tight 5X. I sat fairly close to the fire. I wasn't cold at all.hugs to you, too,   Mag

Hi Judy,
     I'm very happy. My sister is really nervous. She does want me to catch up (or down) to her. There is less than 25 pounds  between us. She is in an 18.  Thanks for the encouragement,   Hugs,  Mag 

Isn't it fun to shop now? Congratulations!
Nan

 Hi Nan,
     I'm really looking forward to it. There are clothes that I brought with me that are going to a resale shop up here. They fit two weeks ago but are way too big now.      Hugs,   Mag   

 I was just in Chicago, so i know what u mean about the weather. I grew up in Michigan. Carla
