OH MY ACHING FEET

Penny For Your Thoughts By: Nancy Whitaker  The shoe just does not fit. I wrote quite a long time ago about liking to wear shoes mainly for the style. When I was younger, I could wear those high heel stilettos and prance around all day. Why is it that when you age, your feet age…

TRENDY OR COMFORT?

Penny For Your Thoughts By: Nancy Whitaker If you are anything like me, you may find yourself looking at various styles and trends. Sometimes I look online or in a magazine just to familiarize myself with what’s “trendy” or “cool” as we used to say. Some day, just go to a mall and  look at…
