It's just such a rare occurrence, both the shopping for shoes, and finding them. I needed some for my interview, and found a bonus pair!

This is a good omen

I remember the last time you bought shoes--you may not do it often, but you do it well

[flourgirl]

Hey!!! Sorry I missed the Hey Jude peekin in. I think of you and send "well wishes" your way....do you feel them? Hope the meds help. Sounds like you are getting lots of things done.

Pieter stopped by too. Glad to see you....sorry you didn't do a huge run of business during the special event. "Woofstock" gave me a chuckle....mental picture of many many dogs at a super-party...jammin' away!

So......ShJess!!! What about them shoes? You can't just drop a teaser like that and not follow through!

I'm hoping that the quiet day meant that everyone was having some fun and just too busy to be here.

BTW.....Juuude...I'm so glad that your reunion and family visits went so well. I have never been to any school reunions.....not sure I ever will. Kinda neat to have had such a small class....and a close group!

[Jestgar]

When was that? August?

Sillies-----I have just concocted the most enjoyable lil dessert. Sliced banana, scoop of plain greek yogurt, chopped pecans, drizzle of honey, and cinnamon. Yum!

Ok. I found the absolute coolest weird strappy sandals things. And at Ross, so 20 bucks! :D :D My feet are so screwed up that usually I'm lucky if I find something for under a 100.

[jerseyangel]

Could have been--it was quite a while ago. Yeah cause it was just before fall and you bought Italian leather

[flourgirl]

Funny how there is so much less activity on the weekends. Is that a sign that people have actual lives and better things to do on the weekends? Hope its fun...what ever you all are doing!!

ShzJess....what kind of shoes is it that you like? I'm just curious!!! If I have a decent pair of work boots, hikers, sneakers...I'm happy. I DO like work boots! Much to hubbies chagrin. When we met I had 1 pair of black dress shoes. I figgered they were good for anything I might wear on those very rare occaisions that I might dress better than jeans!! How many times I heard.....you can't wear black shoes with that.....so I bought a pair of brown shoes (that I wore once). They both live in boxes in my closet. I do have a pair of dress boots (I love them) for my dress-pants type wear. Hubby just sighs these days I have a pair of dress sneakers....does that count?

Is working up to be another bee-you-tee-phul day here! Wish I could invite you all to come sit by the pond to just hang and chat! Would be so much fun!

Great day to you all....

Gooooood Sunday mornin', Psills!

Wedding shower this afternoon, an hour's drive away.... . . ..my second-youngest nephew's marriage is in August, and I've no dress, NOR SHOES, Jyessss. Sounds like I need you to scout out some lovely, cheap li'l strappy numbers for me.......I am as well a member of the screwed-up ankle/feet fraternity. . . .....

Since much of my dad's TV wardrobe is sitting unused in storage at the house, I've often thought that it should be worn - - seems like a waste of some very sophisticated costumes, still perfectly good. I should probably look through it all, and wear the sumo wrestler body, thong and wig to the wedding.

Or the German Prison Commandant . . .....or the complete Dame Edna ensemble (Dad's name was Bernice when he was portraying her)...... . . ..or the incredible drunken lo-life, complete with filthy, rolled-up foam mattress pad tied to the back. .. ...

I would love to wear one of these. I think heads may turn when I enter the church, and our bride would not be amused.

OR: Why not bring the costumes into the hospital, and help my dad get into them, a new one each day?

...Now there's an idea. . . .. .....

Going downstairs but just wanted to ck back as i posted on the smoking thread too

Em, so sorry about your Dad.

Was he able to get out of the hospital at all since that first surgery?

He's been in the hospital ever since that first surgery, which was April 23rd.

Hence the merit of this wardrobe idea - - nothing would spice up a hideously long hospital stay, for the patient and particularly for the staff, like authentic John Wayne

chaps, holster and stetson or Richard Simmons spandex and reeboks. . . .....

Sillies-----I have just concocted the most enjoyable lil dessert. Sliced banana, scoop of plain greek yogurt, chopped pecans, drizzle of honey, and cinnamon. Yum!

Wow!! And I can eat this! I can replace the honey with stevia . .. ....and cinammon has shown real promise in helping control blood sugars.

Could have been--it was quite a while ago. Yeah cause it was just before fall and you bought Italian leather

Now we know what's on Patti's permanent Christmas list.

Um.. . . . . ....Patteigh is into leather. . . . .......

What else is that goil keeping from us, the kind, wholesome soul down south. . ....

Still waters run deep. . ....... ..

Leather, huh?

I have a pair of dress sneakers....does that count?

Tareeeesuh.. . .. . ...please describe.

[Jestgar]

Dress sneakers! :lol:

90% of the time I wear super supportive sneakers. In addition to the owie bits, my feet are wide and I have bunions, so finding something I can even put on is unusual. I pretty much take what I can get.

Or convince the medical staff to wear them periodically when they walk in.

[flourgirl]

Em! I think you've hit on a wonderphul idea! 'Twould be a great uplift for yer dad's spirits to be able to wear his constumes (or parts of them), to remember the fun he had in them, and even to pretend for a while that he is not the poor, hurting man stuck in that interminably dull and monotonous environment. So kool.....maybe you could both play dress up together and role-play. Just fabulous! Wish we could come and play, too!

We are off to a craft fair, and then back home to work play. Paul is building a trellis for me....well, actually for the climbing roses (which at this point are very drooping roses). *I* will not be climbing the trellis Spent some time with the camera outside this am. I love the gardens (did I tell you that already? ). It's so like Christmas to me....something new over and over again.

Yes...I have "dress sneakers". Nothing special about them.....I have 2 pair...one white (summer), one black (not summer). They are kept clean (meaning I don't wear them in the garden) and wear them when I go "out" (meaning not in the garden). I wear them with dress suits.....with dress pants and blouses.....with clean jeans (meaning jeans I don't wear in the garden).....they are quite versatile! My favorite sneakers look more like hikers (ankle support is almost a must), but I do have "walking shoes" that look presentable (depending on your perspective.....meaning....not my husbands). I have learned to leave the boots for winter wear (I can learn new tricks, still). Butt, the winters here are shorter and milder, which means I have fewer opportunities for boot-wearing. Perhaps I need to revert back to year-round boots.

Sounds like my kinda footwear gal!

Happy Sunday mornin' dear sillies!!!!

Dress sneekers--I have some! They're lil sneeker maryjanes--tres comfortable and cute. I wears em a lot wif jeans in the cooler weather. I'm a "shoe" junkie and have lots--especially me Birks. Have pairs in many colors/styles....they're me main form of phootwear. Me pheet are happiest in them, and living here should insure I can wear them lots, if not year-round.

Em Yer dad's costumes!!! I think you should avail yerselph of them fer different social occasions. Think of how proud that would make dad

T--would love to come sit by yer pond and reflect. I miss me pond in PA--so relaxing to just sit and watch the goings on of the various fish, frogs, bugs.......

Jess--are you all set fer tomorrow? Those people should thank their lucky stars that you're coming their way! I feel like a nervous mother Um...wait.......older sister.....yeah, that's better

Morning Sillies and Happy Sunday

Its going to be a very warm day here so I am thinking about heading over to the inlaws and taking a swim. We need to head that way anyway to say goodbye to John's brother since he is leaving tuesday for Russia to study abroad for 2 months. He is heading to NJ this evening or early tomorrow to stay with his aunt- he is flying out of either Newark or JFK...not sure.

I just marinated chicken for dinner tonight. We got a grill Memorial Day weekend and let me tell you we use it at least 5-6 times a week. I love it! So I just marinated lemon garlic chicken. I am trying to figure out what as a side dish- maybe some rissoto.

I have found the gluten free betty crocker mixes and all I can say is Sweet! The cookies were so amazing and they stayed soft! Friday I made the brownies but I mixed in the cookie mix too so they Chocolate Chip Cookie Brownies....to die for! The price for each box- 3.59. Decent compared to the 6.99 I used to pay for the GFP truffle brownie mix.

Jess- Good luck tomorrow hun!!! I know how much this means to you. You and I have talked about the lovelies at our jobs in the past and I tell ya- there are strong similarites so I know how you feel.

Lisa how was dancing!

Hope Raychel enjoyed her birthday!

Everyone else!!! HIHIHIHIHI

Now THAT would take some arm-twisting, ta be shoore. .. . ....

When dad was hallucinating, I believe he was likely seeing these characters walking in and out from his curtained alcove, so the costumes haven't been necessary... .. ..

These are lovely! And they don't hurt your bunions/deformities/plantar fasciitis/hammer toes/whatever else? PHAB!

Best of luck tomorrow, Jyesss, you rockin' scientist, you!

Hi, Amanda!

We do NOT have the BC gluten-free mixes here yet. . . .....
