I Hate My Feet In The Summer

I play tennis 3 or 4 times a week with ankle socks on (and shoes too, since this is the Lounge). By this time of the year my legs are tan but my feet look bright white from the ankles down, When I wear flip flops it looks like I have socks on.

Not a perfect fix but it helps. I garden a lot and have the same issue.

I’ve gotten so old and grouchy, if anybody comments on my appearance, I’m liable to say any crazy thing and walk off.

I think it’s funnier than “mind your own beeswax”.

I strip down to trunks to go swimming, I got tanned arms and legs and a snow white torso. When I was a kid I swan in a tee-shirt. Forget about the sunburns. I expect skin cancer any time.

And are all very fair skinned like my mother was. They can't be in the sun for very long at all.

And I wore flip flops a lot. I always had the white flip flop stripes but that didn't bother me as much.
