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! ):
