Love 'em!     Just wish they could be done in pretty red gel...but that's not going to happen!  I'll settle for pinkish-white! Hugs,  Mandy   ..read more

Finally...the sandals I've been waiting for:  cute but with simple lines, very comfortable, in a darker tan and without the white soles, for less-casual occasions.  And, quite suitable to wear in cooler weather,with leggings. I had a pair of similar sandals a couple years ago (a different brand), but they weren't at all comfortable, thus I purged them.  These fit very well - so well that I've worn them all day a number of times.  And best of all, Wifey likes them! Because of my thin big toe nails and repetitive nail damage to them, you may recall that I have to wea ..read more

Recently I've had to make several visits to my new dentist's office (moving complicated things a bit.)   Several different things needed taken care of.  Since they believe I'm female (or are being exceedingly polite), they always address me as female, and compliment me about my choice of attire.  (That's easy to enjoy...) This visit was no exception.  (Sorry there is no picture - description will have to do!)  Past visits have found me wearing various shorts and blouses, with sandals and lots of white toe nails showing! The girls always compliment something - last ..read more

I'm fully clothed!  It's simply a picture of my legs and feet while a passenger in Wifey's car, wearing a pair of 3" inseam women's shorts,  tunic blouse, and my new sandals!    Shorts or capris, tunic blouses and sandals are my everyday summer outfits - no pants!  And with my long hair, long pink fingernails and purse, I'm lovin' being addressed as a woman!  Hugs, Mandy ..read more

I own several short-sleeve dresses of this style, which are my everyday wear around the house.  Wifey likes to see these new sandals with them...   My dress (and sandals) are clearly feminine, and casual enough to look nice, even while doing housework.   Family and friends have seen me dressed this way - they're used to it.  Others (deliverymen and the like) simply address me as "Miss" or "Ma'am."    For now, I wouldn't want it any other way!  But I hope that someday soon I'll be wearing dresses - long and short - full time.  They're so much p ..read more

This used to be my daily (as well as dressy) footwear all the time:   Not any more!  Not even during cooler weather in the spring & fall.  Now, with my purchase of several pairs of cute sandals, these leggings and flats are spending their time "in the closet." All my closed shoes (with the exception of a pair of Keds (for walking on uneven surfaces) and long pants are out of circulation for the rest of the summer, and as much of autumn as possible. Long live capris and sandals!  It's fun showing off my pedicures...and manicures! Hugs, Mandy   ..read more

Since my new sandals arrived and I've been wearing them all-day, every day, with capris or womens' shorts, tunic blouses, smooth legs/arms, long hair and my long, feminine painted nails and purses, I haven't been addressed as "sir" even once. Mostly it's "Ma'aam" or "Miss."  Though sometimes they omit gender reference completely.  That's OK, too.   And that extends to when Wifey and I are out together.  It's "ladies" or "folks" -  and "Ma'am" when addressing me.   I'm lovin' it! Hugs, Mandy ..read more

  "That" White Sulphur Springs  (the one in WV) grew in the first half of the nineteenth century as the southern "Queen of the Watering Places". It first became the standard summer destination for wealthy Virginia residents seeking reprieve from heat, humidity, and disease of the "sickly season". As its popularity increased and it gained status as a socially exclusive site, the springs attracted elite guests from all over. The resort, now known as The Greenbrier, remains one of the country's most luxurious and exclusive resorts. For many years, Sam Snead was the resor ..read more

No, it's not some strange-looking mini-travel-trailer! This is the remains of a tram which back in the 1960's and '70's used to run from a campground (on a back road) to the top of a mountain near Chattanooga, TN.  The silver frame beside me used to attach to the roof and suspend it from the moving cable!  Amazing what oddities can be found out there, as one is exploring the southeast! Hugs, Manndy ..read more

  Since I couldn't buy a second pair of the sandals Wifey liked best (ran out of my size),  she had me buy a pair of her "second choice."   Haven't worn thong-style sandals for years, so I wasn't sure how they would fit.   But it was not an issue...they fit fine.  I wear them all day, and like the other pair, keep shoe pressure off my damaged big toe nails.  Best of all, with the decorative arch strap, they're clearly feminine.    My next task is to find some sandals for dressing up a bit as the weather cools off.  "You need  a cut ..read more
