SHOES 5 February 2011 It was the way the shoes were positioned at an angle of small degree with one toe over the other nonchalantly as though they knew they were a work of art. Owl |

Aren't those the same shoes that paraded on the "walk" at the Paris grand shoe extravaganza? I thought so. They are a work of art, Owl, and they know it. Dust them off and put them front and center. ~ Some people are like a Slinky -- not really good for anything -- but you still can't help but smile when you shove them down the stairs. ~ |

My feet do that when I take off the shoes.  Love your paint, dear Owl.  |

Hi Diana This is elegantly written and the subject matter feels like something Thomas Gainsborough would paint. Eric in a relationship the me becomes we. |

Giggles, Jerry, and I am honoured. Thank you. Thank you, Steaven, for your very kind words. Thank you, Lori, for your lovely response. I am so glad that the image was so clear. Giggles, Karen – so do my feet! Glad you loved it, my dear friend. Hugs to you, too. Thank you very much, Blue. Thank you, Eric, for picturing it so clearly. Thank you, Liz. It is so good to see you hear again. I hope you are feeling much better. Thank you, Ida, for your kind words. Owl |
