A FAVORITE PICTURE FROM THE 1950'S
During the 1950's we didn't have two incomes, credit cards or much money in the bank.
When our three sons needed new tennis shoes we would have to buy a pair each payday.
The one time we scraped together enough money to buy all three boys a pair of tennis shoes, (on the same day).....They were happy and their Dad and I were so thrilled they all had new shoes at the same time, I took the above picture.
They weren't the name brands of today....Air Jordan's, Nikes, etc., but it made no difference to my boys in those days. Name brands weren't the "in" thing as they are nowadays. My kids were happy just having new, clean "tennies".

This is a precious pic! I have a photo of my son's shoes, along with all of his friends, in the doorway, on a typical Friday night from his teen years. It's framed, and says "welcome" on it, at my front door.
Love those personal touches. Precious story, precious pic!
