Taking the Name of Camels in Vain

Brings back memories!! When I was a little girl my Mom had us pull our shoes
off at the door.

Wow, I am surprised by how strongly people feel about this issue!
And here I am, innocently still thinking the japanese got it right.. )

I'm with you, Marissa. I don't like shoes in the house either, but the
best I can do with my guys is ban shoes upstairs.

I don't wear shoes in MY house. I just don't want to be told
after I am at someone else's house to take mine off. My problem
was it was from a controlling woman and was pretty offensive, no
warning, no choice.
If you come to my house it is pretty clean and i will probably be
running around in socks but they are my socks. If I am sewing at
your house my shoes will come off cause that is how I sew. Bet
all you no shoe folks mostly don't have dogs in your houses?

I dont have a dog. I wish I did. I still would like it if my friends took
off their shoes in the house, even if I did have pups.
As you pointed out your hostess was rude and overbearing to *insist* on
your taking shoes off. I dont think its polite to insist your guests do
*anything* unless, like smoking inside, it endangers someone's health or
safety. The way I heard it, a hostess's job is to make her guests feel at
home, comfortable emotionally and physically, to the best of her ability.
This gal fell short of the mark.
Come on over... leave your shoes on.. or take them off.. Id be glad to
have you.

Howdy!
Floors were meant to be walked on; shoes are meant to be worn.
Quilts are meant to be used.
All are available and cleaned regularly at my house. g

Do you have a quilt in pink and green that wants to go home with me? :-)
