Trend? Fashion? Style?

After traveling around the fashion internet this afternoon, I found what I continue to find:


My Style





And then there's:

.

What's on the fashion pages

.
and on the runways
.
and all over the designer web pages
.
and in magazines
.
it's the rave
.
it's what's hot
.
and I'll be damed if I'll ever walk in these monsters!.
.
lookie:
















I wonder...with these shoes, are women given the name of a DPM? You know, the Doctor of Podiatric Medicine who will be treating and referring patients for foot and ankle surgery?
I know - it's all about age and perception - and money.
I get it.
And I'm sticking with my Ugg and Fyre Boots.
The End.

Fall - Michigan - Cider - Doughnuts

Frankly, since our folks brought us only to this cider mill, we never knew there were others in Michigan until we grew up and people wanted to know if we lived in a hole somewhere.

But it's still my fave............




Franklin, Michigan
Yum.

Profoundness from afar....

* * *

Friend Lynn, living in France, broke her foot and had several care takers. Her tale about this so so funny - so real - but this little piece, however, I love:


"I explained another time, that I wanted an apple salad. “Ok, Lynn!” I thought we had discussed the serving of fruit. But no. Malika peeled the apple and put it whole on my plate. (See attached picture.) Did you know that peeled apples are kind of slimy to hold and eat?"

Yes...they are...and I can't stop laughing.....!!!

and then this:

"Malika also corrects my pronunciation when I speak French to her, and since she is Moroccan, I asked Genevieve if she had an accent, since I cannot tell.
“Oh, YES!” she laughed.
So now, since Malika is my only teacher, I will soon sound like an American trying to speak French like a Moroccan".

Ho, Geezzzzzz.........hahahahahaha!! Thanks Lynnie!

Reformed by a film on PBS and why I still love my Country

* * * * *

Need a refresher in history/civics and why this is the best place in the world? 12 hours with Ken Burns film has reformed (ok- reminded) me it's time to join a travel club and visit these places I OWN before I die. I have been awe-struck for 6 nites at 2 hours each....I need to shut my gaping mouth (in response to unbelieveable beauty and history) and start walking so I can cruise these places!!!!!
