Throwback Thursday and some more...

This post was inspired by Christina (rugby) and misszippy (barefoot). Here I am, second from the left at the front, in my under 10 rugby team, 1973. Barefoot of course. I grew up barefoot and my son goes to school barefoot as well.



and some more...


This is what we have at work tomorrow...Barefoot Friday!!!

    I love it!
    I work from home so I get to be barefoot every day!

    Why do schoolboys go barefoot?

    Great photo! It's snowing here today, (2nd time this winter) so barefoot will only happen inside around these parts =D

    What a cool job thing to do! And to raise money too. I love the fact that your kid goes to school sans shoes, not something we ever see around here. For me I am barefoot all the time at home, but at work in the steel shop, not such a good idea!

    Love it. I go barefoot in the house all the time. Wish I could go barefoot to work.

    Great picture!

    No one would want to see my bare feet, and I'm thankful that these kids are wearing their shoes to school. My 16 year old, in fact, could clear a room with his feet! Of course, that's typically after practice, so I guess it wouldn't be as bad at school...

    I would be scared to go barefoot at my work - do you know where high school feet were washed last? Me either!

    Great picture!! I love being barefoot, the first thing I do when I get home from work is take my shoes off. I'd love to have a barefoot day at work!!

    I can't believe that your son's ALLOWED to go to school barefoot.My boys had to wear shoes and hats and the appropriate school uniform or they would have been in big trouble.

    How cool is that? I would have loved going to school barefoot as a kid. I might even love going to work barefoot too :)

    Adorable picture! (Unfortunately i can't do barefoot, due to feet problems). But I recall years and years of barefoot.

    Funny, I was just asking my husband about Rugby today, because I have a new student who has a full ride collage scholarship for rugby.

    Again, love the picture.

    That is so interesting! I never knew there were schools where all the kids go barefoot. Is there a reason behind it?
    I notice the teachers did have shoes on, though...
    Cute picture! And enjoy the freedom for your feet on Friday!

    I love going barefoot, but cannot bring myself to run barefoot. South Florida is too hot, and there is simply too many nails and glass shards in the streets of this area.

    Sounds like a good way to build foot strength - barefoot rugby - wow!! Any photos of the foot decorating or did you pass on that? :-) Have a fantastic weekend of running Johann!

    I love the idea...and I think it is brilliant! Trying to find shoes every morning is tough...I would love to skip that step! =)

    I think it is good to see that there are some children who still know the freedom of going barefoot to school. I just wish people would not rush to judge the idea.
