Maybe you need to travel back in time and meet Anne's grandmother. I'll go with you.

Shoe also took the same form, shoen, and house, housen.

The use is a bit weird - you have several pairs of hose or shoes, two or three houses, but four is hosen, shoen or housen.

According to my friend Mack Daddy, one Ho is as much trouble as two, so you may as well have both.

Cowher, very glad you were able to hook up with her, she is a good friend, and loves making them, she has since received several orders related to either my hose or this post.

I will have to post a couple pics of my hose she made me.. or if you all go to her website the green ones like Cowher got in navey and the off white were what she made me.
