What's that shoe doing in my (former) front yard?




Driving to work from an appointment this morning, I saw this very unique shoe sitting upright and by itself in the front yard of the house we used to own on Tracy Street.

At first, I was struck by the exotic red-ness of the shoe. Isn't it unique!

I decided to stop and photograph it.

I'm sure there is an interesting story about this shoe. We lived in this house for 10 years when our children were small. Occasionally, they would find unique objects in the street and yard. But this is a first.
The house is just a block from DeLaSalle. In those days, I would often walk to work, or walk home for lunch. Those were the days!
Those memories came back to me this morning while I pondered the shoe. What could it mean?
Would I find other treasures when I got back to work? Is a one-shoed person waiting for me in my office at DeLaSalle?
And why is this shoe sitting outside on a very cold morning in Kansas City in the (almost) winter?

Life is full of questions.
