Feeling Silly
Now I know how to tell a real Croc from a false croc. My daughter sent me a pair of the real thing and they are lined with warm material. You bet they have the little round emblem on the back to prove they are authenic. You know we country folks don't know much about such things so our educated daughters have to inform us. This got me to thinking about shoes. I had an elderly friend who always told me you can tell a man by his shoes so I started watching shoes. A cowboy wears boots, a lineman wears shoes with cleats to climb poles, a man who lifts heavy equipment has steel in the toe of his shoes etc. I once saw a man whose shoes were so shiny I could see my face in them. I still don't know what his occupation is. One of John's sisters amazed me because she had a round coffee table and she had many pairs of shoes stacked in pyramid fashion under this table. I always wondered what would happen if she chose a bottom pair. Would she sit and straighten them all back up before she went out or would she leave them until she came home. John always has a pile of shoes by the front door so being the pretend shrink that I am I think I know the answer. They come from a very large poor family. They probably were lucky to have one pair of shoes so now they want to show off that they have risen about that. When I first graduated from high school and went to work for an insurance company I bought shoes to match everything but I didn't keep them in the living room. I even had an alvacado green pair. I haven't figured out what that says about me. When John's sister was here from Alaska she ask him if he remembered their mother making her polish his shoes before he went on a date. That comes from him having to quit work to help take care of the large family so the girls had to wait on him. When I first came out here he tried to get me into polishing his shoes. Yep I think you can tell a man by his shoes, but I ain't polishing them to make him look good. He's on his own.

My first ex used to polish his shoes so well that I knew he would never ask me to do it because he would know I couldn't measure up. Lack of interest I guess. I don't blame you for declining to take on that chore. Gerry

My daughter has many pairs of beautiful shoes, but I am a whole shoe size bigger so I can fit in any of them!! rose

I keep shoes/boots in the garage that I wear to the barn and around the farm as they are too covered in.....stuff...to wear in the house. Other than that my shoes are neatly put into their coobies in the closet. I guess my crocs aren't real, there isn't an emblem. I didn't know this until now, boohoo. ;)
