As Much As I Enjoy Shoes...

I'll let you read this anyway, if you want.

Can you imagine watching Gone With the Wind in black and white? It was actually on Turner Classic Movies yesterday, so I watched it and was glad I had a color TV.

Great article Robyn! My econimics would work better if I only bought shoes that fit me - I have had a pair of Merrill shoes all boxed and ready to send you for weeks. They look just like you - cute and comfortable. I'll get them mailed tomorrow.

Robyn I'm proud of you for this great piece! Love the intro too - was that yours or has it been changed? Others might think I'm insulting you there. I'm not, as you well know, and will know what I mean. lol. Fantastic!

A couple of years ago, I posted an image of the original Seuss illustration as compared to the TV cartoon image, and for some reason, that post is bringing in the crowds, relatively.

It's ironic because I am offended when retailers start pushing holiday stuff early, but I don't mind my own private celebrations.
