Summer Shoes!

I bought a really cute pair of turquoise leather sandals at PayLess last summer. I only got to wear them once, before I ended up giving them to my daughter. I can't wear anything with the elstic around the back. For some reason, this type of shoe will make my feet swell faster than any other. I was really upset because I loved those shoes.

With my back problems, I wear flip flops, sandals and slip on shoes ALOT because my feet tend to swell. I bought a really cute pair of heels for Easter and I can't wear them much because they made my feet swell more than the doctors would like. I was trying to figure out what to wear to my daughter's pampered chef party Wednesday night. I think I'm going to wear a sundress and my Easter shoes! Hopefully since we won't be gone long...I can get by with them!

I have a pair of tennis shoes that I absolutely will not get rid of. My girls make fun of me because they are stretched out and faded and I've had to replace the strings because they keep breaking. I'm currently on the third pair of shoe strings. I won't throw them out for several reasons. Number one, they are plaid and have several different colors in them, so they go with everything. Second, they are comfortable. I know they don't have much of an arch support, because they are simple canvas tennis shoes, but I've worn them so often, that they have become customized to my feet. Then third they are kind of like that favorite blouse, or jeans, or whatever piece of clothing...that some people have. There are so many memories attached to the shoes. My husband tells me that's kind of stupid, but hey... I'm a woman, I'm allowed to be mushy and sentimental sometimes. For instance, Look at this photo of my feeding the squirrel. It was taken recently when hubby and I were on vacation. I opened the bag and this squirrel came out of nowhere! He was very excited. We had so much fun feeding him, and watching some of the kids that were on the tour with us feeding him/her as well. He got impatient and at one time snatched the peanut out of my hand because I wasn't shelling fast enough!

For some reason, it will not let me add the photo. I've tried a half dozen times and it keeps telling me: unable to post content. please modify your text to only include letters, numbers, and standard punctuation.

I LOVE Shoes too! I think you're right. Even my little granddaughters already love shoes, and the youngest is just a year old. When my sister got married back in March, I bought all three of the grandkids new shoes for the wedding. When we tried Pate's on in the store, she didn't want to take them off! She keep pointing and saying "Pretty!! Pretty!!" I finally had to ask the clerk if we could just cut the tags off and let her wear them out. We couldn't take them off her until she went to sleep!
