Today’s Word of the Day is “perspire.”
\nHow appropriate! I lead our senior exercise class this morning. I knew going into it that I would perspire, and I came prepared with a headband. I should have taken a bath towel, too! *G*
\nMy mother used to say that “LADIES perspire, they do not sweat!” I believe she was repeating something she had heard when she was young. Mother did neither, but I do enough of both for the two of us!

I wear long sleeves, and frequently add a turtleneck when weather allows. I have on a hat and gloves and layers of OFF. I need to buy one of those umbrellas that people put on their patios, with the heavy base. I could roll it from place to place to shade the area where I need to work. Great idea, hmmm?
