Boots and Books

I seem to a have a fascination with shoes on this blog. When these boots arrived at my door on Friday evening, this shot with hairy legs and shorts was too much to pass up. Yes, these are the legs and feet of the BF arriving to pick up DD. He said he has sneakers in the car. The temperature was in the 80s. So, while women suffer in heels, do guys wear workboots?

Knitting is fun again, and Maureen and I had a lovely jaunt to Uniquities on Saturday. I currently have three projects in the works (of various ripe ages) and bought yarn for a new top that I don't really expect to finish until Summer 2010. Maureen selected yarn for three projects and I dissuaded her from the fourth as it is much more fun to go to the yarn store without so much time in between. I may spend more time on Ravelry again soon.

Various Reads: Did I mention that I finished About Face (Donna Leon)? Not her best, but a nice trip through Venice once again. Then onto some ChikLit (hey, it's summer!): two of Anne Rivers Siddons beach books (Up Island, set on Martha's Vineyard, and Low Country, set in South Carolina) and plus Barbara Taylor Bradford's Being Elizabeth. Plus there have been three books on CD for roadtrips: Donna Leon's Blood from a Stone, and two Meg Cabots (teenage fun): All-American Girl and How to be Popular. Currently moving along: The Stone Budoir: Travels through the Hidden Villages of Sicily (Maggio).

Sophisticated Shoes

Somewhere in puberty, a switch is thrown and the girl who was happy in Nikes and Uggs, suddenly, stunningly switches to pumps--with jeans and a ski jacket, for church. She's 10.
