There is a house on the way to Lebanon, that has been undergoing a major renovation this summer. Its been empty at least as long as we’ve lived out here.

I’ve had increasing pain in my right heel over the last year or so. I decided all my years of buying cheap shoes have come back to haunt me. I’ve slowly been buying more expensive shoes and weeding out the others. I’m a much more discriminating shoe shopper now. I don’t even look at anything […]
