Reflections on my flip-flops

When my young son was asked to draw a picture of me, I was portrayed with blue flip flops. I wore them to protect my feet around the house. They were a step above going barefoot. I have gone through many pairs through the years.

I bought this pair on an end-of-season sale last fall. I like them because of the thick soles and comfortable straps. I don't wear them around the house in New York so much. Climbing stairs and cold feet lessen their usefulness. 

So now my flip-flops are a fashion statement on the beach. I read that flip-flops are out and slides are in. That's the story of my life.
