Yes, our girls sometimes struggle with being tidy, as
teenagers sometimes do. But you have to admit, they have pretty good taste in
shoes.
When I was a kid, we couldn’t
have Converse All Stars
until high school, because at $8, they were much too
expensive for everyday boy shoes. Our Chuck Taylors
were the big deal, and just
about the only cool shoe in town until Adidas
and PUMA
became popular a few
years later (those are mine up in the banner photo).

Of
course, our kids have their pick of shoes, with dozens of brands and styles to choose
from, but their favorites are the $4 ones at discount stores. Since they first
started coloring white canvas shoes while camping a few years ago, they’ve each
made several pairs that show their talent and something of their personalities –
and, I think, something of their independence from fashion.
That’s something to be pleased about, isn’t it?
