Shoes at the Door

My parents are on holiday in France. Hence, I am alone in the house for the next ten days.

I decided, that as it is my house while they are away, that I will leave my shoes by the door instead of putting them in the closet.

My parents hate the sight of shoes being left by the door. They think it is really messy. However I think the sight of shoes sitting by the door is beautiful. It is the sign of people who care about keeping their home clean. Of respectful guests. Of people who take care.
