"Shoes on the table?" I asked. "Why is that? Didn't your mother ever tell you never to put shoes on the table?" I said with a laugh. I teased him every time. This is the way he liked it, shoes, sharp pencils, ink well, Mont Blanc, letters for review and of course, the shoes - on the table.
Fritz was always very particular about how he liked things done. So I laid out the items he had asked me for at dinner. On the mahogany side table under his favorite painting just outside our walk-in bedroom closet. The shoes, his burgundy, tassel, penny loafers that we had searched the internet for - from Todd's of New York or Todd's of somewhere important.
They were Fritz's lucky business shoes, lately he had taken to wearing them for all new client meetings. He told me that the shoes had an elegant yet I mean business look to them that people respected and revered. He polished the loafers on his own before these meetings, 2 days in advance of his departure and then set them out to breath and make sure that they were perfect. The night before his departure I always laid out the specific items that he asked me for and then we did the packing together.
This piece took me 10 minutes to create from a picture at my very first Prompting the Muse class with Ruth. And now to elaborate...!!

This I find the best. I love how you weave the story, pure creation! I believe that here is your voice as Ruth said. I fall for the complexity, the creation, the drama. WELL DONE!
