Thought some of you might get a kick out of this. Here's a picture from 1976 (remember Frye boots?) My penpal from Michigan visited for two glorious days (alas that she was not my next-door neighbor!!)

My friend is wearing my (brown) cloak, and I am wearing her (purple) cloak-- because of the shirts/ blouses we chose that day, we thought the colors went better.

I have since removed the fake-fur lining from the brown cloak (it weighed a TON) and shortened it a bit.

Oh, and Esty-- I have been walking a fair amount. The trick is to start keeping track of it again! I was distracted for a time by swimming in a lovely little pond, but the season for that seems to have passed, alas.
