Nepotism

Those of you who enjoyed reading oldest son’s blog might enjoy reading his work on The Literacy Blog. It’s the blog of the Yukon Literacy Coalition, where son is the communications officer, and the format of the blog has recently been changed so that it includes more of son’s own work. He writes that he plans to contribute “interesting literacy facts, stories, quotes, links and whatever else I think you’ll find interesting,” like this post on medieval underwear, for instance.

Too Much Fun for Just a Sidebar Link

The Pyromaniacs give us a series of motivational posters for emerging Christians. “Feel free,” Phil says, “to print these out, post them on other blogs, or subject them to critical scrutiny.”

My favorite is this one.

 

What’s yours?

Summer Sandals

Yes, we are swimming in the shallow end of the pool today. Those who prefer the deep end should swim elsewhere.

Two weeks ago I purchased a pair of Børn sandals like the pair pictured. Usually I wear clunkier sandals. I’ve been partial to Tevas, for instance, and other sandals of the walking/hiking sort, thinking they have the corner on cool comfort. But hiking sandals don’t look all that great with a dress on Sunday, do they? And I have long feet—size 9, if you must know—and there’s nothing like a clunky shoe to emphasis the size of my feet.

So I bought these sandals on the recommendation of oldest daughter, who has a black pair, and size 9 feet, too. She works as a server, so she is running on her feet for 8-10 hours a day for her job, and she wears these every day. She’s never had a pair of sandals so easy on the feet, she says.

My verdict? Oldest daughter is right. This is one pair of comfortable sandals! And I don’t hate it that they don’t add bulk to my feet or that they look downright delicately dressy when worn with a dress.

I’m sold, and I think I might like a pair in this style, too. In black.
