SHOES

.
I have a favourite pair of shoes. I bought them in Portugal several years ago and wear them nearly everyday.

For some reason beyond me, Lo, she is a terrible Goddess insists that they live outside the door to the apartment. Of course I comply with this absurd dictate, as I am a true acolyte.

What amazes me is that the other residents are so nice that nobody has stolen them ……. my faith in human nature is fully restored every time I find them still there in the mornings, and some kind person keeps leaving me large containers full of pot pourri ………….

    Looks like those shoes still have some years left in them.

    Maybe you should be giving your neighbors something for not taking your shoes.

    Didn’t your mother ever tell you to untie your laces before taking your shoes off? They’ll lose their shape and be ruined, you know.

    I wonder how many years they have left in them and is the pot pourri in the shoes? ;)

    Why have you got a mop head on your blog? I mean, hello Karen, so nice to see you.

    Actually bunging some pot pourri in them is quite a good idea ……. thanks

    Personally I think she should park you out on the stoop and take the shoes in with her, they may be willing to conform a bit better! LOL LOL LOL
    Really the nerve of her…(psst. I think you’re right Goddess!)
    Hugs from the Queen….

    Maybe the same person leaving the potpourri could tell you why no one has stolen those awesome shoes? You should leave a note…

    That’s a good thing-to leave shoes outside the door.In Switzerland some folks do it -at least i know of a town where they do it…as in Japan.So,portuguese shoes rule!Once I had a pair of shoes that I love very much.I took it to Paris and I walked miles with it.They where mocassins that as you might know we call “sapatos vela” in dark blue…If I left shoes outside my door step probably they would disapear!I do not trust my neighbours,they punched my car and went away some time ago,bad,bad people…
