Greasy shoes

Last night Patient Husband and I went to see the Broadway Grand Rapids presentation of Grease. I've never seen the movie. I had no idea what to expect. My daughter said I must be the only one in the continental United States that has never seen the movie. I feel really bad about that now that I know this is the 40th anniversary of the movie! Where have I been and why, why have I never chosen it when I saw it in the TV listings? I just don't know! But the play was fun, we had a good time and I'll watch the movie this very week.

Snappyfriends this week is asking for shoes. I thought about this for a bit, looking at the kids' shoes at school, I considered E.'s or A.'s little maryjanes, I looked at my clogs. Nothing grabbed my attention until today. I walked past a shoe repair as I was leaving a bookstore and there they were! All these patients in a shoe hospital waiting to be fixed or taken home.

I went in, stared for awhile, composing the picture in my mind and the owner stepped from behind the "surgery". I told him I was browsing. He gave me a look that clearly said "This is a crazy lady. Browsing in a show repair?" I saw that look, too. He didn't even try to hide it.

So I told him I had a photo assignment that 'required' a photo of shoes and would he mind if I took a picture? He was wearing those glasses that sit on the tip of his nose. He bent his head down, peered over the rims, and gave me a full "she is one nut case" look and said..."sure." I took a couple of shots, said, "I know you think I'm crazy, but thanks!" He shook his head, I smiled and left. Shoes!

I really like these snappy 'assignments.' They make me think about what I'm looking at/for. I notice more. I read the month's list, put it in my brain and keep my eyes open. Thanks, Snappyfriends!
