Laugh all you want. It's not easy to find plain shoes. Lucky for me I got these big potato farmer feet when they were handing out footies, so I can fit easily into men's shoes--
leather, sturdy, $25 on sale at "The Shoe Department." Didn't get any help finding them, the two sales girls told me they didn't have anything like what I described, and yet 10 minutes later I was at the counter with these. They came with really annoying thin waxy round laces so I got these nice fat boot laces and replaced those, much beter even if a little long.
I'd rather have the ladylike shoes I can get in Shipshewana, but heavens, been two years since I was able to get there, and probably at least two months before another opportunity opens. These will have to do in the meantime.
I keep replacing the store stock of these:
heh heh, bacon and eggs ornaments. Also have Pizza ones too, made from acrylic felt bits, very pleasurable to ply a needle through.
Pat is going on vacation out west for a month but she said if I get my pizza quilt top made, she will show me her hand-quilting tricks. I ordered a wool batting from Gohn Bros. and it's arrived and been tucked away for that project.
I've come up with two more prototypes for Art-O-Mat and hoping to send the first ones this week to see if Clark likes them. More product lines means more income when I start working from home in a month. I think I'll be sitting indoors quite a bit, we may be down to one vehicle by then because our faithful old Dollarmobile is getting chancy, Craig had to put a new battery in it this week. I can walk to the post office and dollar store, as well as local restaurants and shops, so long as I can have the truck one day a week for grocery shopping, I think we could make one-car living a possibility at least in the short term until springtime.
I also finished a huge substantial heavy-reading list, if anyone wants a copy, let me know. It's all non-fiction, containing classes in philosophy, history, military strategy, genetics, politics of the pre-18th century, development of mathemathical theory, and more. Trying to fill in some of the countless holes in my little pointy head. Peace.
