On Boots and Bucket Lists

"Nothin' but Cowboy boots
Sets your spirit free"   Blue Country

When I started doing street fairs to sell the clothes I make (which you can see at my Etsy shop - shameless plug I know!) I decided to make myself some "funky" skirts to wear to create my street fair persona.  

Thing is, I needed something  to wear on my feet that would complete the look.  I was looking in the closet and came across my husbands old pair of cowboy boots. I think I have seen him wear these maybe twice in all the years I have known him.  His feet are not that much bigger than mine so I tried them on and that was it.  My love of cowboy boots began. They were a little big so I got some of those gel inserts and have been wearing them ever since. When we went on our trip to Missouri, I decided it would be the perfect time for me to buy my own pair of cowboy boots.  

Now, what does all this have to do with bucket lists?  Well, one of the things on my bucket list is to set foot in all 50 states.  When we were in Missouri we were in driving distance of Kansas City and as luck would have it there was a boot store right on the outskirts of Kansas City called Chucks Boots.

They have a huge selection of boots, not just cowboy boots. So, not only did I get new boots, both my daughters got boots, too.

Now back to the bucket list.  As you know Kansas City is in both Missouri and Kansas.  After we bought our boots we went to lunch in Kansas City, Kansas.  Another state for my list!  With this trip I am more than half done as I have now set foot in 26 of our 50 states!  

Have a fun day!
