What I Did Today
Today I walked all over Walmart getting this and that and the only thing I forgot was batteries which I hadn’t put on my list thinking I would remember them! I almost bought a lovely deep purple skirt but the thing about skirts is that you can’t wear socks and walking shoes with them. I have no stockings or plain, comfortable shoes with a low heel. I actually went over to look at shoes and got intensely irritated by the fact that that they no longer arrange them by size but by style! I wear a size 11 which were now muddled up with all the other sizes. But I have to say I hung up the purple skirt with reluctance because I had also found a lovely purple jacket to wear with it. 
I actually may go back and buy the jacket which I can wear with some other things I have already.
I walked holding myself upright using the cart for balance for about 15 minutes and then walked as best I could for the rest of the time. My leg has been aching most of the afternoon. I didn’t walk my usual mile today because I knew I would be walking around the store. I have physical therapy tomorrow at 9:30 am.
Italy is getting very close. I was hoping I would get a call from the bank to pick up my Euros today but the only person who called was reminding me about physical therapy. So, tomorrow may be Euro day.
Next week, I begin packing…

Wow! It really is getting close now! Good for you, walking around Wal Mart. Wish I could find something there to wear to Julias’ baptism. I’ve had no luck anywhere. 🙁 Hugs to you and Fred! M

Your store must be really messed up. Ours still arranges them by size. The “style” thing doesn’t make any sense at all.

I wear socks with skirts all the time!!! I say go back and get the skirt AND the jacket!! =)

I think the skirt sounds lovely… and Italy is the home of the shoe. If you can’t find good and comfortable there, you never will. So… that means you were out without your cane! Excellent! Well done!

It is difficult wearing a skirt when you are used to wearing socks. I wear socks all the time and put on boots when I wear a skirt, which isn’t very often. Or if it’s Summer I wear sandals with bare feet.

I would think twice about wearing socks and walking shoes with a skirt too, but nowadays people do it!! Especially if it’s a longish skirt. So someday I just might! hugs, Weesprite

Lots of women wear walking shoes/sneakers and socks with skirts – heels just don’t cut it when commuting to work, etc.

Remember the money belt thing that you wear under your garments for the extras. And copies of all the documents you are taking. I love this adventure you are going on. You are going to be in tip top shape. Just watch and see. have fun…dan

I can’t wait to hear about your trip. It sounds wonderful! What about some comfortable clogs or flip flops? Shouldn’t be too cold over there yet, and you MUST have some comfy walking shoes for touring.
