Clothes

To Don’s amazement, I am already starting to lay clothes on the guest-room bed in preparation for the trip.   What to bring???  Will it still be so lovely and warm…or will it be just the opposite and snow, or rain, or God only knows what.   A big advantage of driving, as opposed to flying, is that I can throw various coats in the trunk.  Thus, we will both have raincoats, warm jackets, maybe even boots.   OK, Don will have boots.  I have no intention of doing anything that requires them.

Mostly, it will be jeans and sweaters/sweat shirts for both of us.  Do I even own anything pretty any more?  Does anyone care?   The people we will be visiting, family included, just want to see us and vice versa…the clothes really don’t matter very much.   How nice to be old and able to say that!  Remember when we were not old, when we cared very much about clothes, coordinating outfits, etc?    I’m glad I got to experience that;  even more glad not to have the concern now.
