The scenic route

Wednesday February 20, 2013

Had to go downtown today to get reprints done from slides. I really wish I could have stopped to take a photo along the way. There in a big puddle of  frozen water, between some trees, stood a lone shoe.

Funny how single shoes seem to pop up...  I see one occasionally on the telephone wires... close to a school. "But Mommmmm, I honestly don't know what happened to my other shoe..."

It kind of makes you wonder what really did happen to the other shoe when you see a single one on the side of the road. Did it go the scenic route sight seeing?

Maybe it had to go see this giant thimble....


where else.. but in the fashion district of Toronto.
Maybe they use it to sew giant curtains or something...

Speaking of chocolate scenic tours...





It sure was chocolaty... although it didn't taste like 16 cups of cocoa...
and I think there were more than eggs & cocoa in it.
Did you notice how thin they sliced it?
I didn't see the cocoa patrol out, so I might have snagged 2... 
                                                    ....well realistically one...



We took the scenic route home today.

Apparently my father in law went on a world tour today.
His wife got a call that his credit card was used in Thailand, Australia, New Zealand...

Except that he passed away very, very early this morning.
Maybe he's taking a scenic tour.

Maybe that was his shoe I saw today....

Happy Travels Tom.

I don't know how you segwayed so smoothly from shoes to chocolate, but I totally admire your skill. I love that thimble, too.

I'm sorry to hear about your father in law. I wonder if he made a stop at that giant thimble along his early morning travels.
