Quite true about winter coats in Calif, smile. I was at our GDB's gift shop, and buying a "fleece jacket", that they called a "winter coat." smile. I am wearing it now, and will probably all summer, and maybe into the fall, smile, as it is a "summer jacket" here. Is a nice fleece though. But not thick enough to qualify here. Shelley L.

It started late on a Saturday night and went straight through till the following Monday. Every church within thirty miles of me cancelled their Sunday meetings that weekend. Everybody was so buried. I bundled up my oldest boy, and let him play in the snow. We made a giant snowball, and he buried himself in the white stuff. Oh, yah, the mountains here above 7,00 ft still have tons of the white stuff. By the way, don't try to buy a winter coat in California. You'll freeze your fanny off with something from out there.
