When we were walking across England last year, the only person whose feet stayed dry was Frank. He had La Sportiva boots. When I got home I got me a pair of them thar fine boots. When it snowed unexpectedly this past winter and I had to walk home in the slush because all traffic had come to a standstill, I fortunately had my La Sportivas on. My feet were warm and ... dry. Yay! Today was REI's membership day with a 20% off coupon, so Tom bought a pair of La Sportivas. He can't pronounce the name of his boots, but his feet won't care ... they'll be dry. Now if only there were a bog to tromp through.
I think Tom made it all the way to 7:00 a.m. this morning before he got up. I was excited because he won at poker last night. It wasn't in the big game but a side game after he was eliminated. Stepping Stone, here we come! We were walking home after our big filling $14 breakfast, and I finally asked him how much he had won. Three dollars, he said. Next time I'll ask him how much he won
before breakfast.
Our front porch planter now has bright red geraniums and some sort of lime-colored creeping stuff. It looks very nice, and I approve of Tom's Saturday project.
