Dear So and So

[Blueberry]

Dear People who Repaired my Birks:

Thank you! I'm so glad to be able to continue using my shoes, and the new foot beds are awesome (they could even go up a size to accommodate my expanded feet). Thanks for providing good customer service.

Happy footed person

That makes me happy about your Birks.

I hope repair does not become a lost art. There's a place in town that repairs glasses. I had one pair that was hopelessly bent with broken nose pieces from being in a pocket and another that was in pieces from being stepped on and the guy fixed them both up in one day for under $40 bucks.

I love cobblers. We have a an older Italian man and his son who have a shop in town. It's just like the one my mom went to when I was a kid.

I once saw a remarkable documentary film about Italian cobblers who make ballet pointe shoes. (I learned some amazing things during my insomnia phase, but really, I don't miss it!)

I would love to see that. My old ballet teacher was a dance shoe maker, and I asked if he would teach me the trade, but he strongly discouraged me. I think it's hard to make a living cobbling.

Had a girls day out with my honey and my mom yesterday! We took mom for a spa pedicure, then we "did" lunch at a nice restaurant, then went shopping. This was moms first time out in her new wheelchair so we wanted to make it fun, she had a great time. I love my mom.

That's so nice, Pax. Glad you had a good day!

That's terrific Pax. I wish I could get my mom out of the house for something other than doctor appointments.
