Saddle shoes could be a pain to keep clean and not smear the white polish over the black, brown or other. I always longed for penny loafers.joaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09999395062839739698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6860426776748592870.post-91030360043039529452010-12-20T20:59:46.923-05:002010-12-20T20:59:46.923-05:00Old friends are the best, aren't they though? ...Old friends are the best, aren't they though?

It looks beautiful. You are so lucky to have maintained a friendship over so many years.<br /><br />BTW There's no such thing as an annoying liberal, it's the other end of the spectrum that's really irritating!#1Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04214011945298439939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6860426776748592870.post-29332215800766123972010-12-19T18:26:46.325-05:002010-12-19T18:26:46.325-05:00I brought some Spanish moss back to NC to see if i...I brought some Spanish moss back to NC to see if it would grow. It died of course. The parasite only thrives in the deep South. <br /><br />How nice to have kept a friend for so many years. My best girl friend in high school, Becky, married my BIL and later we divorced the brothers. Today Becky is friends with her neice, my daughter who is much more out-going than I am, but Becky still calls me from time to time when she thinks I am dying.<br /><br />Annoyingly liberal? I have both kinds of friends and that keeps me tottering in the middle somewhere.schmidleysscribblins.wordpress.comhttp://schmidleysscribblins.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6860426776748592870.post-41685643482977833912010-12-19T18:17:36.708-05:002010-12-19T18:17:36.708-05:00and jolly handsome, both of you.

It's twice as much fun to remember the old days when you are talking to someone who was there. I know because I have some "long ago" friends that are still in my life.
