Soooo.....ellen.....if you got locked out of your house when getting the mail, you would end up with frostbite on your footsies, right?  Of course, some people don't understand why so many of us S. Floridians walk around outside barefooted all of the time.  My late hubby (AL born and raised) would never do that down here...even after living here for 25 yrs!  Always had to have shoes on to walk outside...WHY???  Of course, his feet were much prettier than my old calloused-covered feet!  :-)

Does anyone have any more BattleStations dates for this group?  If so, please friend request to me for the schedule I'm keeping.  Thanks!

You all are too funny talking about cold weather. It snowed here a few days ago, and I went out and got the mail in my bare feet. It is still t-shirt weather during the day and a jacket at night. :)

MichaelsMom:  As a native S. FLoridian, the 30's would probably have all of us not leaving our homes down here!  When the temps drop into the 50's, we bring out the "heavy gear" that we have owned for 100+ years since we never get to wear it and it never wears out!  :-)  We are such wimps down here when it comes to cold weather...you can always tell the natives from the transplants or snowbirds....we are the ones bundled up like we are in an ice storm, and the others are in bathing suites, flip flops and tank tops, loving it!  :-)

Friends,

This scripture is so appropriate for the Battlestations that your SRs will be going through soon.  Perhaps you can share with your SR in a letter now.

             "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name;

              you are mine.  When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;

              and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you.

              When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames

              will not set you ablaze.  For I am the Lord, your God, the Holy One

              of Israel, your Savior..."

                                                                                     Isaiah 43:1b-3a

Hello All!

     "Let us pursue the things

      which make for peace

      and the things by which

      one may edify another."

                    Romans 14:19

Good morning everyone!  You ladies are so funny!  I'm a transplant from Southern California now living in north central Washington (24 years now) and it took me a while to get acclimated to our winters.  I remember wearing hats, gloves and scarves in 45 degree weather!  Our temperatures here now have dipped into the low 30s overnight and kids are STILL wearing their flip flops and shorts to school!  As a matter of fact, lots of kids wear shorts through the winter months when it drops down to single digits...brrrrrr.  I wish you all a wonderful Tuesday!

I'm going simple; black dress pants, a red sweater and black flats.  I figure I need to be comfortable, but look presentable!  A heavy coat, scarf and gloves is not an issue....I'm from Central New York and we are expecting snow on Thursday!!!

JorrDennis:  Make sure you have on comfortable walking shoes, and keep in mind that you will be climbing in bleachers.  You will see all types of dress there, but your sailors will be in their finest so remember that!  Dressy casual is suggested...nice jeans are fine...many will be wearing Navy tshirts....it is really up to you.  Some like to dress in an unusual color and let their SR know so that he/she can 'spot them' in the stands! 

Good Morning All !

IHeartmySailor,

I'm from Southern California too, but you are much braver than I am if the daytime highs in Great Lakes stays in the mid-forties according to the Weather Widget's top left corner!!  Aren't we freezing when it is in the 50's here?  Make sure you have tights and boots if you wear a dress--it's not sandals and flip flop weather up there!  You will need a heavy coat, scarf to keep your neck warm, and gloves. too.
