Don't worry Sugar, I'll slip these shoes on before we go inside the Restaurant. They are the only pair I own, and I want to make them last another 10 years!

that is agood one. i really like the picture and your story really captured it.
You did a great job interpreting the picture, but what a sad little story.
Nicely done.
a slight bit of sad reality for some...nicely done g!
Loved this. I bet his situation isn't really as sad as it seems. Bet he's just one of those free spirits who loves walking barefoot with the feel of the sand and grass on his feet. :)

Oh--I like this one...can't blame a man for wanting to save his 'good shoes' for special times, like a visit to a restaurant!
Great job! Cheers!
G-Man,
The picture, for me, has some pathos but you brightened it nicely! Good take on it!

You would almost think he had a bit of Scot's Nature to him.
interesting picture and i can believe that tale very easily.
oh, whew... he did have a good reason after all ;)
good one!
I have no trouble understanding why he has his shoes off. I can't figure out why she has her shoes on!
Excellent interpretation! I thought this week's was a tough challenge. Well done.
LOL, I make my shoes last ages too. Hate wearing shoes!
Mr. Thrifty I would say. :) Great take on the photo :) Have a great week ahead :)
Yes, always make your shoes last - it's good for the sole.
Nice one.
Yeah, you can't wear out the soles of yer feet, right?
Good one!
Ooo. . .I loved this. So sad, but yet full of hope. Brilliant!
Have a lovely week x
On a nice summer evening, who needs shoes? She should join him.
You have been nominated for a Creative Blogger Award
God! You made me crazy this morning. I knew I recognized the style and it took me twenty minutes to find this was a painting by Thomas Hart Benton who we installed a show for around 1990. His style was very unique in it's near caricature depiction of people.
The Painting is titled "Romance" and was done around 1932.
Benton was one of the EXTREME propagandists for America during WWII and I don't think he ever had one painting that didn't weigh at least 200 pounds. At least not any of the ones I installed at the DIA.
Nice story to by the way. they would in 1932 go barefoot to save the shoes.
Very sensible of him! ;)
very well observed.. wonder his shoes r torn or not.. :)
my grandfather had lots of sisters and brother (can't remember how many exactly) and they didn't have enough shoes - so the last ones had to leave the house barefoot….
nice thing this microfiction monday
have a great start into the new week!
Now that's the man to marry--frugal and thrifty, but not stingy, as his restaurant date demonstrates. I like your story!
At least they're going on a date!
Enjoyed this, G-Man. Have a great week.
Frugal. A man after my own heart!!! :O)
Very practical of him. I like to walk barefoot too!
Have a good week Mr G.
He sounds like he has a good head on his shoulders. Really well done microfiction.
Boy, does this bring back memories! We used to play barefoot too -- not in our "school shoes" or our "Sunday shoes". OMG what would the kids say LOL
you wrote that with such love...
from him to her
