Dress Shoes And Nylons

The latter years of my mother's life found her in the same attire each time I saw her.  One of the consistencies was seeing her in low heeled dress shoes and knee high nylons regardless of the time of year.   80 degrees or 40 below, it did not matter.  Today at our church we had a celebration for one of our ladies who has had a long history of ministry and there she was at 93, in her dress flats and knee high nylons and all I wanted to do was hurry home to get into my thick wool socks and Haflinger shoes.   I don't know how elderly women can possibly stay warm dressed in such strange shoes and this is a message to my daughters that should I reach the age of infirmity where I don't know where I am, please clothe me in Lands End wool socks and Haflinger shoes and I should not be any bother at all.
