You might get a kick out of this. Most of the afternoon I have been very cold, so I am sitting in a recliner, with these thick multicolored slipper/socks, a granny gown (which I NEVER wear, but all my jammies and sweats were dirty), and an old ratty sweater. I got out of my chair with my hair sticking out, and my hubby observed, "That's a really attractive look on you, honey." I was "figuratively" rolling on the floor laughing!!!

I have only soaked my feet once (with epsom salts) but I used warm (not hot) water. I will have to try with tepid water. But today (so far) it's a case of cold.

I am very interested in talking to you via personal email. I have no idea how to do that though. There is no hurry, cuz I'm still recovering from sitting all day Saturday for a special celebration.

Thanks again,

Brenda
