Wooden Shoes

I have lunch with a good co-worker about every other month. I've known her for 12 years and we chat about work and what is going on in our lives. She told me a great story this week. She and her mother were out at garage sales and my friend found a great pair of wooden shoes for $5. My friend was born in Holland and moved here as a child so wooden shoes are close to her heart. As she went to pay the owner for them, she turned over the shoes and to her surprise, her maiden name was written on the bottom. She was shocked as they are the only family in the city with that last name. She asked the owner where she had gotten these shoes. They had belonged to the owners father who had received them from a friend, but that was a long time ago as the owners father had died in 1982. My friend was amazed as these shoes had belonged to her father who died in 1987. My friend didn't know the owners but her dad had lot's of "friends" as he was known to frequent the pub a bit. She was so amazed at how these shoes could come back to her and is sure that someone in heaven had a lot to do with it!
