33. Your Comforter acquisition sounds

Divine, she! I love them and had one in New York and it got left there. My landlady had one in my first home on Kaua'i when I came back and I loved it. When I moved to this place I haven't really needed one until last night!

It was a two blanket night first time ever! Brr.. It brought home again though how grateful I am to be living in a warmer year round climate. And, I don't get to complain when it's too bloody hot in the summer!

Cindy lives by a lake in the Adirondacks and all kinds of frozen challenges happen up there in the winter.. and she just carries on like a trooper. She was asking me yesterday, however, when was the best time to visit Hawai'i.
