It was Sunday, it was a very nice day, and Central Park becomes a place where you'll see many women hanging out, enjoying themselves. Being outside on a day like that, taking advantage of a newly warm spring day in the park puts you in a happier mood; you feel better on longer days when there's more available sunshine.

What we have here is a happily married woman of a certain age. She's not young anymore but not yet old - you know what I mean? Everything about this woman I found very attractive from the way she looked, to how presentable she dressed, to the book she read, to the mature conversations we had.
I typically don't see women wearing Sperry's on their feet, but I really enjoyed how they looked on her. She must love how they look on herself as well considering she's wore them numerous times before based on the condition they were in. She allowed me to remove those shoes from her feet, and I loved the texture of the footwear, the quiet sound they made as I took them off for her. I love the look of the feet thPost too long.
