It’s with a heavy heart that I must announce the retirement of my favorite pair of socks. They’re nothing special, really. They’re an old pair, bought back in the days when Target’s “The Spot” was “The 1 Spot” and everything really only cost a dollar. They were part of a football season/tailgate themed 1 Spot display, and are the most comfortable socks. Great fit. Stylish (though Liz would disagree). I honestly stocked up once I wore the first pair, but over time they’ve fallen victim to the washer or dryer eating them, getting mixed up with the wrong crowd in the odd sock basket, or conveniently lost when Liz was packing up clothes during one of our moves.
When my dad was visiting to sit with Liz post-surgery, mom had packed his suitcase and had packed one of the pair of socks in his bag. When he got here and unpacked let’s just say that things didn’t go as planned. I ended up with a brand new pair to wear down to threads.
I haven’t seen them in Target since the 1 spot display ended. I’d buy that for a dollar. Again.
