Just out of curiosity, what were your feet wearing before the real shoes? Sending good vibes re: your van.
Feet? You had feet?
Before the “real shoes,” my feet had bright orange socks and a pair of worn-out canvas flats from Walmart. The real shoes are black leather pumps, 1” heel.
The van returned ... but when we came out from Mass, air was leaking rapidly from the left front tire. Drove to a Bridgestone shop just the other side of the interstate, and DP has remained there until the tire is fixed. I brought Tom, Elen, Pat, and Vlad home in the truck.
Tom and Elen are supposed to be getting their dirty clothes in the laundry basket, so I can start wash. Two kids times two days shouldn’t be more than two loads ... except that Tom’s clothes are really big!
