I wish I could give you a real one. Sorry I just got to your email. I haven't been on here much lately. I didn't realize it had been that long. Well, I know what you mean about feeling funny about even wearing things in your own house. I feel that way too. And to make matters worse, I just sent pictures of my scars for Bev to use for her trip to Washington. SO now all those people will see my fat ugly scars and belly. At least they don't know me or are not able to see my face. I made sure my face is not in the picture.
I remember the days of the elephant leg pants and tye dye t-shirts, hip huggers and all that. I was young but still wore those things. I wish I was young again. I hate getting old!
