The question for the day! How many pairs of shoes do you have?
One thing that Patti and I will miss from Tupelo will certainly be the Police report in the newspaper. It is a rare day that it does not give us a chuckle or a “what the heck” moment. The latest funny was a report of a man who came home to find his home burglarized. The thief absconded with his 65 inch television and 23 pairs of shoes. Do you know a man that owns 23 pairs of shoes? Really? Do you think the burglar just happened on his shoe stash and said…”Oh, just my size, I’m gonna take ’em all” ???? Or maybe he was a shoe collector and was robbed by another shoe collector (who happened to need a tv too). Just leaves you wondering “what the heck” ! The sad part of the police report is that it never answers our questions about the rest of the story, so we have to make up our own story!
In other news, we have made it through our sorting process and our giant moving sale. Lots of work, but very successful. Our packing is probably 85 percent done as we have mostly kitchen and some clothing left to pack up. Many of the things not packed are what will go in our cars, breakables, etc. We have had a few people look at our house, but no offers yet. The weather has surely changed to all out spring. We went out to eat last nite at I-Hop and were perfectly comfy in t shirts and no jackets. Yesterday, we worked outside, tiding up flower beds and other manual labor. Won’t be long and it will be time to start mowing. We are getting antsy and would love to finish packing and head north!
In the meantime, we have counted our pairs of shoes and between the 2 of us, came nowhere near the 23 pairs that the poor man lost in his robbery. I don’t know if that makes us abnormal or what is considered normal for shoe ownership? So–how many pairs do you’all have anyways!?!?! Waiting for the verdict on that question! Till next time! Think happy thoughts and send that house buyer our way!
