I was thinking this week about Easter and how as a little girl I looked forward to getting a new dress and pair of shoes.  I remember one Easter that I had prayed for a pair of new white shoes.  Mama paid either 98 cents or $1.98 for the shoes.
Well, I walked around all day on Easter Sunday looking at my new shoes. A few days later, we visited Uncle Bud and Aunt Willie White. I was determined to wear my new shoes, and of course we walked there. I walked over rocks and briars as we went into the hollow where they lived.
When we got there, the shoes were all scratched and the leather had pulled loose from the soles.  I cried.
Uncle Bud came to my rescue. He was kind of a shade tree cobbler, who was pretty good at repairing shoes. 
He very seldom threw anything away.  So, he looked and sure enough found what was needed.
He didn’t have any shoe polish, so Uncle Bud just dabbed on a little white paint here and there to cover up the scratches.
It didn’t matter to me.  They were almost like new again.
