Scavenger Hunt Sunday

CAMERA PHONE
Taking a picture of forsythia blooms now showing on my photoblog. If you'd care to see click on the link in my sidebar.

CAMERA
This is my Mom's Brownie Camera that recorded all of my childhood memories.

SHOES
I know, I know, many people think they're ugly. I totally agree that they can't compare with the red soled Christian Louboutins or trendy Manolo Blahnik stilettos but hey; I'm old, I have terrible knees and they are the most comfortable shoe I've worn in a long time and this teal blue goes from spring to summer!
CHAIR
This little primitive wooden chair was my Grandma's. I don't recall her letting us sit in it. She didn't want it to get broken. It sat beside her bed and held her flashlight within easy reach in case she needed to get up in the middle of the night. When she broke her hip she needed to be moved to a nursing home and I asked if I could have the chair. She happily passed it on to me.
The original seat is gone having long ago been replaced with a scrap of wood. One arm is only half the size of the other. It retains much of its original red paint. Grandma cherished it and now so do I.
IMPERFECTION
"If you look closely at a tree you'll notice its knots and dead branches, just like our bodies. What we learn is that beauty and imperfection go together wonderfully."
Matthew Fox
HAPPY SPRING EVERYONE!

Ruby Red Slippers

What have we here? I see Mickey Mouse Cutouts surrounded by red.
There's that little gator! Now you know don't you?
Carletta has a brand new pair of red Mickey Mouse Crocs!

You may have heard the latest news this past week that the Crocs company is fighting an image problem and the once hot shoe is in declining demand and increasing inventory has forced the company to cut jobs and close production plants. Knock-offs and discounting have also hurt its bottom line. In today's economy it's hard to say if the company can become profitable again.

I only know they are the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn. I spent my last year of teaching walking and standing in comfort. Despite the company's woes I know a good deal when I see one and I scarfed these up this weekend for under ten dollars! Actually, I bought three pair of different styles all for less than the retail on these ruby red beauties!
