May Day!

No - not as in "HELP," but as in flowers blooming, children picking flowers, birds signing etc.

A hundred years ago when I was little, Dawn and I would pick flowers and make a little cone shaped pretty and hang it on Mrs. Crow's door knob on May Day. I don't remember Mrs. Crow exactly, but I do remember that she was very kind and had a wonderful little china bird that she would let me come in and "pet." She also gave us some fabulous pink fuzzy slippers one year for Christmas.

So go out and be kind to someone today and make a memory for them...and yourself.

The way to your heart has always been through shoes...

Speaking of May day and Shoes. My entire division (except the Memphis office) is on holiday today, because every country except the US celebrates May day. In other news, I ordered some fantastic shoes, they should arrive today. Please see my blog for details.

Mrs. Crow is smiling today! She loved you! If I was late getting home, you would go up and sit on her porch and tell her what a bad momma I was! (and I think she agreed with you!)and we would laugh. she was a dear sweet lady, thanks for a sweet memory. love you.
