A Pedicure

This morning I had my first pedicure! I’ve always hated having my feet touched or bothered. Last year there was an opportunity for me to get one but I opted to get a much needed hair cut instead. Recently, though, my feet have gotten sort of yucky looking and the heals were covered with dry skin that was messing up my nylons badly. So I decided to take the plunge and go for it! It was wonderful! I got to sit in a massage chair while the girl worked on my feet. My back had been hurting so badly, too, that I REALLY enjoyed that. All the dead skin was worked off. My feet look great.

Truthfully, I’ve never felt a need to make this blog into a “teaching tool” or anything. But Romans 10:15 pops into my head right now – “And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!” Maybe that is because they were teaching that to the kids last night at church and our boys were telling me about it. Anyway, my feet look more beautiful than they have in a long time. (Not that I think they look all that great now!) But there is definitely an improvement!

Speaking of the children’s class last night, they played a game where they all took off their shoes and put them in a pile and then blindfolded each child and had them try to find their own shoes in the pile. The only problem with that is that all three of our boys wear the exact same style of shoe! So it got confusing pretty quickly! We’ve color coded them with dots on the inside, so when the teachers tried to find the right sizes for the boys the boys were all trying to explain that they get the “red shoes” or “blue shoes”. Finally, they let them pick and the three boys got it all figured out! They also tried to write their names on a piece of paper with a pen held in their toes. It was pretty cute to see it! James and John write their names quite well with their hands but the foot writing was unintelligible!
