  1. LOVED them all. Number one I follow. I always where my Easy Spirit shoes to match my outfits. But number 3 fascinated me. I'd like to meet one of my look-a-likes.

  2. Interesting things to know for sure...however I was struck by the one about height from father and weight from mother...My dad was 6 foot and my mom was thin as a rail...I'm 5'2" and plump ... There are exceptions to every rule I'm sure. Hope you are having a great summer there.
