big girl pants, feet, garden, memories, obsessed, pictures, pond, runners, shoes, waiting, widow

a few weeks ago I was stopped at a light on my way to work and someone crossed in front of me with the most amazing green runners… it was too late to get out my phone to take a picture… a few days later I was waiting by Polo Park and a ton of people were rushing to make the light and many of them had cool shoes… again, no time to take any photos…

since then I’ve been obsessed with shoes…

wherever I’ve been walking, if I see some interesting shoes l stop and take a picture, after asking if it is okay…

people seem to feel special and always say yes…

here’s what I’ve come up with so far…

when my oldest was a pre-teen, she went through a stage where she always wore two different coloured runners… lasted for a few years and still now, if I spot someone with two different shoes on it reminds me of those days…

on my Facebook page I often put up pictures of my feet as I am relaxing by the pond… it has become a bit of a ritual to do foot pictures in various places now… getting pedicures, waiting for appointments, on vacation…

this one from March is of my son-in-law and I in Mazatlan as we were waiting for a strike on the fishing lines, which never did happen…

took this one yesterday as I was drinking tea and waiting for my hair to dry…

had a quiet morning, taking it easy… then I cooked the meat for our taco supper…

kids picked me up and we went to Rona to get screws and anchors to hang up the shoe storage containers at the front door… still find it difficult to go there without seeing George… today one of the people helping us said I looked familiar, and when I said I was George’s wife, he said they still miss him… while we were out we ran a couple of errands, got home and finished the prep for dinner while Jeff put up the units…

IMG_8233.JPGJeff figured out how to give me access to the plug through the first bin… still have to put a board across the top to finish it off…

IMG_8234.JPGthe front area looks great and I got most of the shoes in and put a couple aside to give away… think I will hang scarves in front of these…

vacation day four…

shoes, Smoque Shack, suitcase, transit, turkey, vacation

got up, had breakfast, and went to pick up groceries for our turkey dinner tomorrow night…

while we were out I found a great pair of black runners, which I wore for the rest of the day… my feet are a bit sore from all the walking…

came home, put away the groceries and went downtown to have lunch at The Smoque Shack… the beef
bones were delicious and reminded me of Tony Roma’s…

20140428-220053.jpghad a wonderful drink…

20140428-220332.jpgwandered around Byward Market for a while and found a great dessert shop – Oh So Good, which serves cake by the piece much like Baked Expectations…

20140428-220828.jpgwe stopped in at Letellier and found sandals and work shoes… there is some conversation that I might need another suitcase, lol…

walked along the canal in the sun looking for tulips, before taking the bus back home…

had a nap, prepped potatoes, turnip and stuffing… swam in the building’s pool before dinner and watched some tv…

getting to be an old hand with the transit system…

the weather was beautiful and it was another great day:-)…
