Our Kansas temps are brutal this morning at 5 degrees. I confess I'm still a coffee drinker vs tea. <br /><br />I loved those days that were foggy when I walked to school as a young girl. Pretended to be in London.<br /><br />I fell in love with the Victoria Magazine over 20 years ago.

I think Victoria is getting thinner paper too. Southern Lady remains a bit more high quality as far as the over all feel of the paper and the photographs.
