I want to start off this entry with a fact and a story.
Fact: I own more than 30 pairs of shoes.
Story:
Once upon a time there was a girl living far from home and her family. Her summer vacation (a few months long) was to begin soon. Her family came to escourt her home. When arriving, the terrible mother of the girl (who really isn't terrible at all) gave the girl a shoe ration. The girl's hopes and dreams were dashed (though not really) when she was told that she could only carry a limited amount of her finest foot apparel home with her. Now, do not dismay for this girl has two very lovely and underestanding siblings. These siblings came to the young princess's rescue and without her knowledge smuggled a few of the precious gems in their own luggage. They had fought victoriously in the girls honor and against the evil (but not really evil) mother. The girl and her two siblings rejoiced in the shared victory and the girls feet were clad gloriously throughout the coming months... AND yes, my brothers are awesome.

Payless Shoes
Shoes from Cape Scott on Northern Vancouver Island

"Photo of Payless shoes. The shoe tree on Northern Vancouver Island is a landmark. People which made the trail to Cape Scott in Cape Scott Provincial Park hang there shoes afterwards on the Shoe Tree."~Pretty much amazing if you ask me, that's a big pile of shoes!
Here's another shoe picture. This ones more melancholy and if you allow it to will stir some emotions.
These are Shoes and prostheses found at Auschwitz Concentration camp, shoes and articles that were collected by the Nazi's during the Holocaust. Now it has become a tearful memorial of people past and souls lost due to ignorance and blind hearts.

So, I found your blog off of Rach's. You didn't tell me you had one! Stinker! :) So that's so sweet about your brother's smuggling some of your shoes! 30 is impressive however I have you beat. I have somewhere around 45 if you include my dance shoes too. :) Lance does not understand it but I'm glad I have a friend like you who does!! Have fun on your break from work! I guess we'll probably be driving right by your on our way to Portland.
