I love shoes!



I just ordered these lovely shoes to wear with my ultra-colorful skirt. Earlier this morning, daughter #1 was talking about becoming your stereotypical college student who dresses hippyish--she has the loveliest pair of red Converse All-Stars with just enough tweaking to make them fun.

If she can give in to her age-appropriate stereotype, then so can her Bohemian-wanna-be mother. I have taken to wearing skirts lately because I enjoy them. I enjoy the way they twirl when I spin in the middle of the kitchen (which I sometimes do), and I enjoy the comfort and flare. Daughter #1 and I decided that Converse All-Stars would look just right with my longer skirts.

So, I will look forward to receiving these new plaid friends in a week or so. Yea.

appended post: I am now wondering if my size-nine feet will make these things look like sternwheelers at the bottom of my skirt. Hmm.

Maybe it's the weather. It isn't even November yet, and already we've had frost and have had to dust off our winter coats. When it gets cold like this, I start to think about Christmasy things like listening to Nat King Cole and decorating the tree. It's ironic because I am offended when retailers start pushing holiday stuff early, but I don't mind my own private celebrations. When my sister and I were much younger and still living with our parents, we would pick a day in July, close the curtains to darken the ...

The Ultimate Storyteller—in Life AND in Death

I wrote about The Autobiography of Mark Twain in yesterday's edition of Small Town Newspaper. You can read it here , if you want. This is the photograph I had in mind while I read Clemens' dictations. He really was a masterful storyteller, even when rambling on about the poorly designed door knobs in Florence or in describing the Countess Massiglia, who he described as a "pestiferous character." About her, he said, “She is excitable, malicious, malignant, vengeful, unforgiving, selfish, stingy, avaricious, coarse, vulgar, profane, obscene, a furious blusterer on the outside and at heart a coward.” And I laughed out loud.
