Polkie-Dottie Toes

Last evening I just needed to get out for a walk. My shoulders were all stiff and achy from hunching over the computer too much. So about 8:30 I sneaked out of the house without Harley (walking with him is not a restful experience!) On my way home I found my friends down the street outside putting out the trash (lovely ritual, isn't it?) They are an all female household, like the one I grew up in and I always feel very comfortable there in their multi-generational femaleness. We sat on their brand-new front porch and admired the concrete steps and walk that had just been poured earlier that day. Their contractor is doing a very nice job.

Then Sandie came out and I just about flipped over her toenails! I just love being bare footed or in sandals and it is so fun to have cute toenails. Well, this was the tops as far as I was concerned! Sandie'd had hers done at a shop but told me the girl had just done the design with dotters. Being an old tole painter I have dotters galore at my house.

Today I made a Wal-mart run and picked up the black polish, I already had the white on hand (three bottles to be exact, two of which were so old they wouldn't even move!) I had lots of fun giving myself an "at home" pedicure and then making polkie-dotties.

I wish I had foot-model feet, but as we all know I don't... I have Fred Flintstone Feet... but even Fred feet need to be cute.
