This is my haul from yesterday's clothes swap. Pretty impressive I think. Also it was much more fun than solo clothes shopping. For years I've noticed that people talk to others, even total strangers at theseevents. Complimenting each other on finds, sharing the enthusiasm. Way back when she was in high school Katie, my younger daughter, needed a prom dress. She didn't want her dad to spend a lot of money on it. The ones in the stores were so expensive. I took Katie to a free prom dress event. There was an amazing variety of colors and styles. Katie quickly found not only a dramatic black and white number that fit her perfectly, but matching shoes. Girls and their moms were urging her to try it on and when she modeled it they were exclaiming how beautiful she looked and how happy they were for her.
Temps in central Maine are dropping rapidly with a blizzard predicted for Sunday night. The kids have postponed Eugene's birthday lunch again. Eugene and I went to Governors for breakfast. But I plan to spend the rest of the weekend inside with precious Tobago.
If you live in the wide swath of America that will be hit by nasty weather PLEASE dress defensively when you have to go outside.
