I am once again "swimming" in The Great Polar Bear Challenge, which is scheduled to take place on January 1st at Lucky Peak Reservoir near Boise, Idaho, between 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 noon. The event benefits the Make A Wish Foundation. Please either join me and raise a minimum of $50 so you can get your own long-sleeved event t-shirt, or click on

Not really "swimming" but more of a "Chunky Dunk"!!

Sorry for the delay in posting a follow-up to my New Year's Day plunge. IdahoBeauty and her DH, Pat, and wonderful son, Alex, met Jerry and me at Bogus Basin bright an early. I took the plunge and, due to my competitive nature, walked/swam out farther than anybody else before returning to the frigid bank. The outdoor temperature was 17 degrees; however, the water temperature was 35 degrees. It felt much warmer to stay in the water than to get out of it. To IdahoBeauty's horror, I did, in fact, wear my multicolored flowered swimcap. And to some plungers' surprise at my dry hair, my husband replied "She may be crazy, but she's not stupid!" Here's a picture, notice the ice on the bank.
