As the mother of boys who loves sports, it's all about the sneakers. They know what they want and they "must" have them.

These are Nate's. He is like a puppy with BIG PAWS that he will grow into. He bought these with his birthday money from Grandma and Grandpa, promised to take care of them. Of course, I still find them laying all over the garage floor. Fortunately, Dini has not used them (yet) as a chew toy.
Here's a pair of Scott's tried and true winter boots that were not so lucky. He has had for 20+ years.
Unfotunately, they did not escape Dini's radar this year. Scott was not too happy.
He takes VERY GOOD care of his things as you will see in a future post. Luckily, he likes Dini
(at least for the time being.) Nanci, the wife in me feels badly that Dini got them. Nanci, the artist, sees this as a compelling subject for my Walks thru Life: Shoe Portraits Series.
Have you ever lost a favorite pair of kicks to a pooch?
I know my friend Shelly has (achem, right Lor?!) Sorry, sore subject.
Nanci - these are such fun to look and (and read) - the year of my accident, I got a brand new pair of Uggs for Christmas - fancy leather and suede ones that had lug soles and were perfect for working at the farm but also fashionable - less than a month later, the left one had to be cut off my foot! I considered keeping them anyway, but they got sacrificed in the moving purge. xo
ReplyDeleteThat is tragic in a non tragic way if you get my drift! I so remember that year, visiting you in the carriage house.
ReplyDeleteHope you are all healed... and that your Uggs know they were loved, albeit for a very short time!
G;ad up enjoy my posts, I love reading the comments, so thank you!
