Martha...This is my favorite place to buy shoes! http://www.onlineshoes.com/ Free shipping and free returns and they have amazing customer service after the purchase. I'm with you on the wild sports shoes....just can't get myself to buy a pair because I feel that I look like I'm all shoe! I love Dansko shoes for work but stick with neutral colors because I can't see spending over a hundred dollars on a pair of shoes that limit me what I can wear with them that doesn't make me look like a clown.

Pat, thanks for the link. I hate to buy shoes because so few places even carry my size. But if they are that easy to work with I may have to wander around their site sometime in the future. I clicked through long enough to know that they have attractive boots in my size 12 so there might be hope for me yet. Not that I don't like buying most of my shoes in the men's section.... Thanks, again.

I bought a pair of teal blue running shoes last spring for my cardio rehab sessions. They were a morale booster and topic of conversation among the patients. One of the advantages of being an old lady is the right to be eccentric. I try to do that occasionally.

I totally agree! I bought a pair with yellow, green, blue & purple strips on white and realized they glow in the dark! Perfect for reflection for riding my bike at dusk or dark. I thing my gaudy Italian gene come out every now & then and the shoes are the latest example.

I’m just going to sit here and stare into the fire for a while because I don’t think I’m up to a cheery good morning coffee. It’s been a really hard couple of days. My best friend’s (Missy) husband died very unexpectedly late Thursday afternoon. The visitation is today and service tomorrow. Randy the favorites of my all friend’s husbands. We were really quite close and sat together in waiting rooms waiting for results while Missy was in surgery. Every spring we spent many Sunday mornings together riding to Mitchell to help Missy at the greenhouse during her busy season. Can’t count the times that I would stop at their house to see Missy and she was off doing an errand and Randy was in his shop/man cave tinkering around on something. He’s always say just sit down and have a beer she’ll be back in a minute and we could sit and gab about anything. We were the same age born exactly a week apart…of course I always had to give him static that he was older than I. We had celebrated our two last milestone birthdays together and the joke among our families was when we turned 70 the party would have to start at 4:00 pm so we could go home and be in bed by 7:00 pm.

My heart is just aching for Missy, the kids and grandkids.

So sorry to hear about the loss of your dear friend. All the more sad because of lifelong friendships and the void that is never filled. Stay strong for your friend, but I will say a prayer for all of you.

So sorry,Pat.
I have a friend who lost her husband yesterday as well. Never an easy path to travel and no words to really help.
