The Stop Sign Tree and My New Shoes

I took this photo a couple of weeks ago near my aunt's house of a Koa tree growing right up the Stop Sign. The City and County of Honolulu could pull the tree out at the base but instead they've let the tree grow and come back to trim it every so often. It's rather surprising to see a tree growing up the sign support and over the sign itself whenever we get to this stop. It's even funnier when the branches get bigger.


I wanted to share my new shoes and sandals that Art bought me. The Easy Spirit is nice to wear in the house and provides a good amount of support. I bought a pair like this for my mom before our trip to Japan and Canada and she loved it.

I'd seen several of my friends wearing the Clarks sandals when they had foot problems so I knew just what style to buy. As I was holding the sandals at the shoe department someone came over to me and said, "They're really comfortable and great for traveling. See mine? I wear it all the time. My husband tells me I should buy another one. Buy it!"

So I did and she was right.


P.S. Neither one of the loveseats we saw turned out to be what we wanted. One was actually too big and the other was too worn out. I guess I'm really hooked on Craigslist because it's like a gambling addiction. Sometimes you win and many times, you can lose.
