I didn't do shorts because of let and knee issues, but I've bitten the bullet these past few years so that I can have a bit of fun in them before I'm REALLY old! But they're more longs than shorts.<br />Happy weekend hugs,xthepoutingpensionerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13484934089759704702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385292529998118275.post-23020191600954593682019-05-24T09:15:28.487+01:002019-05-24T09:15:28.487+01:00Oh Kim, I'm just going to have to check out th...Oh Kim, I'm just going to have to check out that blog post, to see what you did with yours.
