They looked so good, and now they’re gone!
Over two years ago, @bluerthangreen found these green Jordan’s at a garage sale. He doesn’t remember the exact price, but it was definitely under $10. They were not his size, but the deal was too good to pass up.
Recently, he found them in a bin of his, and offered them up to me. First off, GREEN is my favorite color, and these shoes are an excellent color of green. Moreover, I’ve never had a pair of Jordan’s before.
Green shoes I have had, but not Jordan’s. Back in Junior High, I had a nice pair of green Keds, and I really like them, based mostly on the color alone. Anyway, when @bluerthangreen offered them to me, they were in a size that could fit my feet, so I gladly accepted.
Soon, they were on my feet, and I was enjoying them and just checking them out. After a while though, my feet began to hurt. The shoes were a little too tight for me. –insert sad emoji face here-
I think that my problem may have been that I have spent too much time this life unshod. “Unshod” means “without shoes on.” Except for winters in Wisconsin, I preferred to be barefoot. When you are in and out of the swamp as often as I am, it saves you the inconvenience of having to dry your footwear.
For most of my summers as a youth, a pair of shorts was my outfit. I know that many places do not allow you enter without a shirt or shoes… but I wasn’t heading anywhere like that.
Whatever the reason, the shoes were just too tight for me. I tried a few times, but they still wouldn’t work. When @truconspiracy was visiting us in Arkansas, I checked with him and his son. It turns out that both @truconspiracy and his son have feet that are just a little smaller than mine… so, kind of like Cinderella… the shoe fit.
Options were limited, but I broke down and gave the shoes away. It was hard, but they are in a better place now. It was fun while it lasted, but all that is over now… I got them for free, and gave them away for free too! Be blessed @truconspiracy!
As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:

Until next time…
FULL STEEM AHEAD!
