I started this blog in July, but was one of those that got abandoned along the way.
Maybe a good thing, because I got a few more months out of several pairs of socks.
Chris played lacrosse as you know and the ‘adrenaline’ brand of socks were quite the rage in 2009/2010 and I believe are still very popular today.
They are thick, comfortable and designed for athletes. (yes, you can insert your own joke here about why I would be wearing them…)
For the past 21 months I’ve used them as a default slipper and ‘sock with jeans post work’.
We had found one pair, then 2, then 3 and eventually the 4th.
As you can see from the pic (taken this morning), I’m still stretching out the 4th pair, but we’re on the last threads…literally.
I’m not sure the pictures show it clearly, but each sock is worn right through at the heel or toe and they are done.
Anyone got a creative idea for used clean and washed but worn out socks other than sock puppets?
Many of Chris’ items have been donated or are with friends, but there was something about those socks.
I’ve walked a mile or two in them and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

i think a vaccum hose cover! lol
Sometimes it seems odd which things we choose to keep, but we pick what means something to us. I have a few of my Dad’s pipes carefully saved – it’s not like I will ever use them, but they are what bring him close to me.
