Mystery Flip-Flops

I don't know who really sent these lovely be-flowered flip-flops adorning very nicely pedicured feet; but below is the e-mail that was attached.

Now the actual name on the e-mail (which I am keeping anonymous for various reason) was not the name of the actual Prime Minister of Ethiopia; but obviously the mystery e-mailer is as clever as the prime minister of Ethiopia (although I've never met him - the prime minister, not the e-mailer, though it may be I have not met the e-mailer either -  I'm just guessing).  I wonder if this has anything to do with the penguins that show up in my mailbox periodically.


Dear Ms. Felt,

I heard you were looking for pictures of flip flops to publish in your upcoming book.

Please find attached.

regards,

Prime Minister, Ethiopia

What's the Opposite of a Flip-Flop?

I'm pretty sure it has to be cowboy boots complete with spurs. 

Yes this is a blog dedicated to the lowly flip-flop; but I just couldn't resist. Both the young women at this table were wearing boots with spurs and talking about horses, of courses. Now we live in Iowa where boots are a standard but not usually being worn by girls on July 1, nor do I often see spurs. After all we're in the midwest, not the wild-wild west.

 These girls reminded me of my Aunt Janet who I doubt would ever be caught wearing a pair of flip-flops because they are just not practical around horses. 

Sometimes it's refreshing to see a well worn and beloved boot.

McFlip-McFlop

Yes I have figured out a way to take pictures of flip-flopped feet clandestinely - my cell phone. Now of course it doesn't take the best quality photos; but it's not as obvious as carrying around a large Pentax. No one knows their feet are my models they just think I'm messing around with my phone. 


So here are the first batch of flip-flops. These are just a few that I took at a McDonalds on Interstate 80. I stress, just a few. I would not have had time to photograph all the flip-flops adorning the feet of the McCustomers. Well and someone may have started wondering why I was walking all around the McDonalds looking at my phone, stopping in front of peoples tables.


Once I figured out how to Bluetooth the photos to my computer which, by the way, is crazy, my first flip flop photo entry is posted.




Cute little flowered flops.

Okay so we haven't posted any flip-flop photos yet. I just haven't gotten up the nerve to ask someone if I can take a picture of their feet. I'm pretty sure they'll think I'm a wack-o with a weird foot obsession. So I think I'll take inventory of all the flip flops in Sarah's closet and the ones she leaves around the house. 


I'm always getting in trouble for slipping on her flip-flops and wearing them out in the yard where they get muddy. Well if one leaves flip-flops floating freely about, then a person has to figure their family members feet will find those flip-flops first. How's that for alliteration? Probably could use some work.
