It is beginning to feel more natural to be barefoot. Sounds kind of silly when it is actually unnatural to wear shoes. Unfortunately I was also told I had to wear shoes in a third store today. You really can't change their minds. They do not believe you should be barefoot in the store. It doesn't matter if it is legal or not. This time I was asked to wear shoes next time I visited the Price Rite store in Manchester. Since it is not a religious believe, nor do I need to go barefoot for medical reasons I believe it is not possible for me to be barefoot 100% of the time.
I have not given up on being barefoot. Rather I realize that most people do not believe it is something legal I can do. When I went to the barbershop on Saturday I carried my shoes and put them on before entering. The couple who run the shop are very nice, but I didn't feel like I wanted to test the waters and cause a stir because I had the right to be barefoot. The shop feels like it is part of the couples home with games and things for their kids. At some point when I visit and they are not busy, I may ask if I can enter their shop barefoot but until then I will put shoes on before entering.
My local hardware store seems to be a safe haven still, we visited there again on Saturday and had no problems or even a single comment. I'm sure they will someday bring it up. So I'll continue visiting their establishment barefoot. Maybe I'll get some of them soleless sandles and give them a try someday.

Sad Shoe Day on Saturday
This past week has not been a good week for being barefoot for me. It has been cold and rainy just about all week long. I didn't get much barefoot time in at all.
On Thursday, our city has what is called Taco de Mayo in celebration of Cinco de Mayo. Many of the business in the downtown district will create mini tacos and sell them for $2. Each business also picks a charity they are sponsoring during that event. It becomes a contest of sorts on who can raise the most money for their charity. They have ice cream tacos from Ben & Jerry's, a Rueben taco at the Queens Pub and I even saw a fish taco. They do have more traditional style tacos as well, like chicken and beef. It is fun reading all the different style tacos and figuring out which ones you want to try. I was very disappointed that I did not attend this event barefoot, it was just too cold. We even went home early due to the cold.
On Saturday we went to the garden center to pick up some vegetable plants for the garden. Once again it was too cold and wet for me to try shopping barefoot. We did buy some tomato, broccoli, red peppers, lettuce, flowers and lots of organic fertilizers. We had planned to do some planting on Saturday as well, but it started to rain again.
Sunday, I went to Price Rite and was finally able to leave the shoes home. My daughter even joined me being barefoot. Then I stayed barefoot as I planted the tomatoes. So the new week has started off nice and the weather looks to be improving, so I'll be doing more barefooting in the days to come.
