Bill, we call them shoe horns also. I have an old metal one some where and a long plastic one.
I leave my right shoe untied. If I don't the pain is pretty bad. I can slip it off and on like skechers
The last time I went to a shoe repair the cost very high for a whole sole and not too much better for a half sole. I remember my Father puttinf new soles on his work boots..
Dave. don't think you can find shoe cobblers any more. There was one in Hamilton but I think he retired a few years ago and I could almost buy a new pair of shoes for what he would charge for new heels and soles. It has been years since I bought a pair of dress shoes. I think the dress shoes I have now are 40-50 years old. they are probabley dry rotted. Thanks for the comment on the generic ink. I am never ready for t he end of summer. When September rolls around I start counting when it will be June.
Lee. we very seldom go out to eat now so when we want pizza we get Red Baron. It isn't very large which is fine for the two of us. It is also pretty good, at least we like it. I would not be surprised the two glasses of wine had a lot to do with the high price of t he meal.
Fay brought in a lot of grape and cherry tomaoes. Her   larger ones are beginning to ripen.
Our daughter Linda is coming tomorrow. It has been a while since she was last here.
