Why bother getting dressed when I can stay in my long indoor/outdoor gown? I don't wear it anyplace except here at home, but it's fine for working or entertaining guests. I don't paint when I'm wearing it unless I have on my navy robe that I use as a smock because I don't want to spatter paint on it. Contrary to common thought, acrylic paints do NOT wash out of fabrics! I love this long dress; it's a perfect size and so comfortable I can sleep in it if I'm too tired or in too much pain to lift my right arm (arthritis & it's my dominant arm so if I paint too long it keeps me awake.) My daughter won't let me keep Tylenol here; I have to call her to bring me what I need. She's wary of my memory gaps though I now write notes to myself or to her for whatever. I do miss not having my own transportation. I've always been an excellent driver and I'm sure that with a little practice in our lengthy driveways I'd be fine on the road. Can I still get a new driver's license at age 85?
