Update on the Shoe Saga
We are back in good old land locked Tennessee now. *sniff, sniff*
At least the weather is lovely, so that makes it less disgusting to return to life away from the sea. [Is there really such a thing? ;^]
I realized I never updated the tale of The Shoe. The day after I took that photo, the staff was madly cleaning for the anticipated weekend beach crowd. I checked the railing and The Shoe was GONE! My guess was the paid cleaners and straighteners had captured her and evicted her from her home with a view.
Ahhhh, but something drew my eye to the lush plants on the ground below the spot where she had been basking in the sun. Can you guess who was hiding safely behind a clump of dense foliage? Our little friend, The Shoe!
My guess is that she has learned to hide from the weekend *busy-ness* safely under the bushes and will return to her sunny spot when the crowds thin during the week. Sounds to me like there is a good dose of cat-ti-tude in that Shoe. And my conclusion now is that she is definitely a crafty escapee from a smelly footed mistress. Not a sad little abandoned persona at all.
I winked and smiled at her as I passed my last few days and kept her secret safe.
