Ruby Tuesday 2 - My Elephant Shoes - March 26, 2013


My beloved friend, Charlene Payton, knows me so well.  Of course, she has 
shared my life for about 40 years since we worked together for a year as
young nurses ( yes, even I was young once ).  We have stayed in touch ever
since, traveling together all over the world, even dragging the children along
sometimes.

Char is well aware of how much I like elephants and she has even donated a
few to my collection.  When she spotted some very special shoes at Alegria.com,
she immediately made me aware of them.  Of course, with a price tag of $109,
I decided I didn't need them that badly.  However, I did keep going back to look
at them and, yes, I now own a pair.  I just love them.  They are extremely
comfortable but quite heavy so I will probably need to wear them on my flight
back to India June 1.  They are perfect for Ruby Tuesday.



Here are my Alegria Paloma Golden Elephant shoes ( thanks, Char! ):

  2. I am sure I could find something like these in India for a third the price, Indrani....but I just couldn't resist. It was a complete splurge.

  5. What cool shoes!

    You can do some fancy 'New Grandma' dancing in those for sure!

    I'm looking forward to hearing about you wearing them for that upcoming event!
