How did that end up there?

During spring break we stopped at the picnic area at Washington on the Brazos State Park. While watching my kids and enjoying the spring day, I happened to look up and see this:

I asked the kids how it got there, Sadie came up with a story about elves. When T.S. heard "elf," he announced that an elephant put it there.

So, what's the story? How did that shoe get in the tree?

Again, possible blog giveaway--if more than four people comment, I'll pick a winner and send him/her a fabulous prize.

Veterans' Day

Today is Veterans' Day--we'll go to school later to the Veterans' Day program. I will probably tear up...I do every year. I'd like to write something profound here, but I've realized my sister is the feature writer and I have always been the news writer (I guess Mrs. Smith really knew what she was doing in high school). As much as I would like, I seem to only be able to report the facts--nothing too fancy here. So...

If you are fortunate enough to live in this country, send your kids to school, worship where you choose, read this blog...
Thank a Vet!
