CLOSET SHOES






It is that time of year when I venture into the cavernous cave of a closet and find my closet shoes.



You know the shoes you bought for that great New Year's Party, to go with that scandalous pink silk dress, every girl has a pair hiding in the closet. So I dig deep until I spy them, still sparkling, still brand new. Trot them out into the light, and try to put them on, even still, try to stand up in them.



I remember when I bought these red beauties, in South Beach Miami at some fabulous drag shop. They were magnificent sitting on a shelf next to the tinsel. I had to have them! I even planned on wearing them, even though they make me 6ft. 4in. but my tan and dreamy Miami husband, who would look like a dwarf next to me, would have been smiling all night!



So I don my red rhinestone shoes and think about my single life in Miami, hot sizzling parties, walking in the sunrise on the white beach!



Why is it we hang on to shoes, it is not like a picture book of memories. Now that I live in the country and have downsized into a shared closet, and my new mantra in life is learn to live with less, why can't I part with the closet shoes!



Well, at least ZSA ZSA kitty likes them and thinks we should go dance around the Christmas Tree.



Merry Christmas bloggees!

DANCING UNDER THE FULL MOON










The moon was so full and bright a couple nights ago, I knew that the faeries would have a dance!




I could hear all the whispering and giggling in the house. I grabbed my camera and headed over to Fairy Park, the forest was twinkling, I could hear the excitement in the soft breeze! I walked through the sparkling faerie fest and spotted a couple of faeries whispering on a bench, dressed in Christmas outfits, with berry wreaths on their heads, they giggled as I walked by. I peeked around a tree and saw fairy ring dancers, a brisk wind off the lake reminded me of the hour, and I hurried back to my car, passing a little bird faerie, whistling a pretty tune.
