I love all of the things Linda just listed. Plan to wear them if I can find them in the bigger elastic-waist sizes.

Love paisley, corduroy, and bell bottoms. My family calls it 'retro' now and I wear what I want. LOL

Well, I'm fatter than I want to be, I must admit. And it looks as if I'm stuck there. Been trying for 12 months now to shed weight. Have only shed my sanity. Oh, well...
