It is like washing a car . . . sure, I can do it myself, and I do so on occasion, but someone with the right materials and a desire to do this professionally can do it MUCH better than I can.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03323811980627840654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28981938.post-40479125468986173172012-10-22T16:33:56.639-05:002012-10-22T16:33:56.639-05:00I haven't seen one of these in years.I haven't seen one of these in years.Randyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14324315351283229508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28981938.post-24994311839337745812012-10-22T13:22:45.711-05:002012-10-22T13:22:45.711-05:00LOVE the shot from the front!

One day, I decided that my shoes needed a little buffing up so I went down for a shine. The man was so nice but, a bit on the nervous side. He told me he had never shined a woman's shoes before. It was a first for him.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07645915869786296771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28981938.post-92126404318364676832012-10-22T07:28:53.080-05:002012-10-22T07:28:53.080-05:00I am always surprised to see shoeshine stands at a...I am always surprised to see shoeshine stands at airports. They seem so old-fashioned, but I notice that they are almost always busy. <br /><br />Kate, I just read an article about retirees seeing the world that reminded me of you. There is a link for a blog in it that might be of interest, as well.
