My aunt and uncle milked cows for many years on the farm for their livelihood, and my aunt still collects about anything Holstein-cow related. In fact, that is her kitchen’s theme.
Since I drew her name for Christmas, I’m thinking of getting her these cute splashy print cow rain boots. Not only are they practical, they are fun! The eyes even roll! Thanks for the idea, Wayne!

As you read this, I will be in New York City with my mother for Ad-Tech. Ah, the joys of Wordpress being able to edit the timestamp to post in the future while away. Anyway, my mom wanted some new shoes before our trip, so she opted for these Women’s Skechers Bikers Jersey Sandals (yes, they are sandals). And I asked her to write up a blurb on why she chose these particular shoes, and she responded…
Yes, those are the exact shoes I bought. I thought they were very comfortable and kind of sporty looking with my T&C shirt and slacks. I liked the look of them right away, but was told by the salesperson that her mother had a pair and thought they were really comfortable. That’s what really sold me. I also have the problem with my foot and they are soft in the back and were comfortable all day long on my part of the foot that has the plate and screws. ~ Mom
Finding a pair of comfortable fitting shoes for my mom is not an easy task, but this shoe sounds like a winner. Although if a salesperson told me their mom bought some shoes I was looking it, I’d run thinking “old lady shoes”. I hope mom’s salesperson was a teenager!
These popular Skechers featuring a leather upper with canvas trim, elastic bungee lacing, and modern pronged rubber outsoles are available from ShoeBuy.com with Free Shipping!

I attended a Halloween Oktoberfest party and was quite camera happy (schnapps may have been involved). Since brown mules seem to be my absolute favorite shoes, I asked two of the guests if I could take pics of their shoes. The pic on the left is of LifeStride brown mules and the pic on the right is of Tommy Hilfiger brown clogs (they went perfect with her German Beer Maiden Costume). Hope your Halloween was as spectacular!
