susandennisI keep replaying bits of the chat with Dick...
"So do you still keep shoes in the oven?"
My condo in Minnesota had one of those eyeball high ovens. It was situated very near the front door. It was the PERFECT spot for shoes. They all lined up nicely, there was a light so you could see them all. Even the ones in the back were easy to reach. Grab a pair and go.
But, now I have a nice spot in the closet for my shoes. And my oven isn't as handy to reach or use so I keep the not so important stuff in there... pots and pans and the surplus cat food.
I've come a long way, I think.

Date: 2005-12-09 05:19 am (UTC)Apply commercial liquid floor wax to the tip, pleats, and box of the shoe with a old toothbrush. Apply only to the outside of the shoe, and only where the hardness is desired. Stuff the boxes with newspaper, and fold the ribbons inside the shoes. Place on a baking sheet in a cold oven. Bake at 250 degrees for 3 minutes. Turn the oven off and leave the shoes inside overnight. Be sure to tell your family that your shoes are in the oven, so that they won't preheat them for breakfast.
