Well Janet, you haven't seen me huffing and puffing in my gold slippers
with a wheelbarrow.

Oh I have, but only in my mind's eye .Could I suggest you get the ones
with kitten heels? They'll make all the difference in puddles, and
provide some traction in ice and mud.

Sorry Janet, but kitten heels are useless, I still have one somewhere in
thick deep clay so I have been known to wear gold slippers with a
different one on each foot. The mule type ones are best for gardening,
easy to slip a foot out of when the mud won't release it.
