Kix Sandals

For a week now I have had some kix sandals. Over the years I have thought that this brand of sandals was wonderful. Unlike so many mens sandals they are not just shoes with holes in them,  but sandals with straps that let your feet breathe. Unfortunately the people who make these sandals are going to retire and production will be shutdown, Below is a photo of my sandals. They have a few other styles as well. I can only wish the producers well in retirement, but I am sad at the thought that I won't be able continue to obtain their sandals.

A Walk

Today a group of us went for a walk through the 'Canyon', which is the name of a paddock on my brothers farm, the 'ancestral pile'. I was the guide for some friends. The day turned out perfectly although we were a little worried at the chance of rain because of the recent rainyness. The Canyon is a steep drop to the river and named for its associations to the early Western writer Harold Bell Wright and his books set in Arizona.
