A Rock in My Shoe

June 25, 2010: 

After what I call the "Un-Parade" (a parade that my daughter was to be in was cancelled after the first 10 floats, due to bad weather coming in), my daughter and I were on our way back to where our car was parked. I was wearing clogs, got a small rock in my shoe and stopped to get the rock out, apologizing to three people that had been walking behind us for abruptly stopping.  At this point, I realized that one of the people that passed us was our local State Representative, Andy Welti.  It was easy to recognize him because he has come to our door twice while campaigning and shook my hand (the matching yellow t-shirts that said something along the line of "vote Welti" might have had something to do with it, too).  I caught up with him and asked him if I could take his picture. He said sure and one of his companions asked me if I'd like to be in the picture, too. 

I got a kick out of the "Here is Andy" sign!  That is the story of how this picture came to fruition.  So, next time you get a rock in your shoe, maybe there's a reason why you need to stop for a bit...
