Hard to believe, but I've had them since I moved in 8 years ago. They sure have seen their share of work.....climbing the roof to clean the gutters, working in the yard, planting, cleaning the barn, mowing the grass, walking the dog. I've worn them with sweats, jeans, shorts....in every form of weather. For an inexpensive pair of boots, they've served me well!
A good friend of mine (who happens to be a farm girl like me!) has been encouraging me to get a pair of "Ariats." It's the top name in equestrian boots... riding boots, fashion boots and work boots. However, frugal as I am, I couldn't imagine spending $100 on a pair of boots.
Enter ebay!!!
I found a beautiful new pair of Ariats for less than half price.
The crazy thing is that I'm having a hard time parting with the old ragged pair! Funny how it is with something familiar. You get so comfortable that you don't want to let go. I moved the old pair to the porch for a few days and, finally, this morning, carried them out to the trash. Silly. Why would I want to hold on when I have this beautiful new pair of boots. Some lesson there, I'm sure.
Love the new boots....They should do you good for a long while. I copied the pic of the old ones. Laura Vozar and I always called each other "old shoe" due to our long friendship and I can use this in her bdy card!!
