Shoes

Something you may find weird...but that has fascinated me for the past year of my life, is how shoes end up on the side of the road. I started noticing shoes...lots of shoes, just scattered through-out Chattanooga on the side of the roads. How does something so strange happen. I envision Chattanoogians with their red-neck feet hanging out the passenger side window and their shoe flying off and hitting the windshield of the car behind them! This could be dangerous! I wonder if this event has ever caused a 52 car pile up! So I wanted to share with you, that I am not making this up... Whether the shoes cause pile ups or not is another story but some how they find their way to the side of the road frequently. I have not convinced Aaron of this yet, but I am a true believer that there are millions of shoes lost, without a mate all across the world. I will not be able to find all the shoes around the world on my own but I will prove to you and America that in Chattanooga, it is a mass occurrence! If you ever find one for yourself, please send me a picture. I want to write a book about this!

Shoe Number 1 was found on Igou Gap Rd.

Shoe Number 2 was found on East Brainerd Road.

Shoe Number 3 was found on East Brainerd Road, near E. Brainerd Elementary.

Well....now what do you think. And I have two more shoes I have found saved on my cell phone.

Not to count all the shoes I have seen and haven't been able to get a picture of.

Cataloochee Ski Trip December 07

This is little Katelyn enjoying her day out in the snow in N.C. for Christmas '07. She was so excited playing in snow for the first time. We even let her endeavor a little in skiing. She was a natural.
