The Cold Spell is Over





Now
that the cold spell of the past week has passed and we are back in the
higher 70s, lower 80s,  I don’t care what any one says--I survived it!
LOL

We broke or equaled low temperature records in South Florida.
I know a lot of you have no empathy and/or sympathy for us but what
about the poor tourist who is from your town and is spending $600? Oh
right, ‘At least it is warmer here than there.’

For the record on both Thursday and Friday I didn’t even think of shorts, flip-flops and a short sleeve shirt.

The
first thing I did on Thursday was to light 2 chocolate aroma candles
and then the ’runway show’ started. What to wear? I tried on an old
London Fog all weather coat that I haven’t worn since I left Memphis--in
1979! Okay it still fits comfortably which is a good thing to know!
Then I tried on a cashmere sports coat that I last wore in New York in
1985. Then there was my suede jacket that I usually pull out once a year
or, of course, my chocolate sweat shirt.

On Thursday I wore a
shirt under a long sleeved heavy blue shirt while on Friday it was a
shirt and that sweat shirt. You know it was cold--for us. And both days
trousers, socks and shoes!

Okay to my freezing friends in
Memphis, in North Carolina, New York, Philadelphia, etc., I will not
talk about the cold the rest of this month!

I have friends who went down there to get away from the cold up here. They did not bring clothes for the cold.

We had 2 cold days and then it was 80 degrees!

Those coats are so old they are probably back in style, although London Fog probably hasn't changed style - it's a classic.
