    I’ve always hated throwing old shoes out, especially slippers. They’re always feel so snug and comfortable to wear, it’s hard to replace them with new ones. Your lovely photos of kiddies’ shoes brought back many memories of when my six were little. Old shoes and happy days.

              No, not at all. Rugby was the in thing in SA as you well know. He wasn’t a fighting person so he didn’t like playing rugby at all.

                My boys aren’t the footy types either and neither is my hubby althoufh at one point he played touch footy. A lot of men are into it, though.

                    A gentle, sensitive soul like my boys. A beautiful way to be.

                      I agree, my husband and son are both wonderful and as you say gentle, sensitive souls.

                      The world isn’t easy for them to live with, especially as other men have that cave men, competitive mentality, but the world is a better place for having them.

                      I know, I feel sorry for them because they are such good companions too.

                      You are so right there, Ineke. I never thought about them in that way, but they are wonderful company.

    Worn shoes have character, man’s best friends, every step of the way. My Timberland boots were thrown out without my permission, after a decade of bliss. I’m still not over it.

      Haha, I’ll tell you a secret I still have all my son’s shoes from his birth up to school time. They are here with me in a strange new country.

        That is so awesome! My late mother kept ours for decades but threw it away when they sold the big old house.

          No, I’ll never get rid of them. My son can throw them away if he wants to after I’m gone.
