I guess I am an Albertan...

I just walked through my porch and thought - now there's something you would NEVER have seen in my porch in Thunder Bay. TWO PAIRS OF COWBOY BOOTS! I truly have converted to being an Albertan!

I wore one pair to work yesterday, and the other today. The Ariat's (the brown ones) are REAL western boots and so comfortable. Thanks to my lovely western Border Collie assistants, Jet and Ted.

PS that rug is a Finnish rag rug. My Estonian Grandma Kahara gave it to me - she had it made by a friend and it is woven from my Grandma's own, old clothes! It just doesn't wear out. Now that is great old technology and economy.
