My little 5-year old granddaughter, Kennedy, came up to me one day, gave me a big hug and excitedly pointed to her feet! "Mimi Linny! See my pretty new shoes!"

"Oh, my," I said. "They are so beautiful! I wish I had a pair just like them!"

Giggling, she said, "Oh, Mimi! I don't think they make them that big! What kind of shoes did you wear in the olden days?"

What a perfect opportunity! Out came my photo album and we started at the beginning!

Looking back upon my life

I find myself in thought

Through all the years my love for shoes

I'd ever worn or bought!
