How do I love thee?

Socks: $2
Boots: $12
Christa accidentally buying two right boots and being "all right": priceless

I bought a pair of these galoshes in Costa Rica. They were $12. We were in the middle of a tropical storm and these boots were a lifesaver. They're comfortable too. I've worn them a few times in Ohio when it has rained. This week I discovered another use for them: snowstorms. I have shoveled the sidewalks three times in the last 24 hours. I even dug Sarah's car out of my driveway. My feet were toasty warm and dry. I'm pretty sure I'll be wearing them everywhere in the next few days till everything is plowed.  I never thought I'd love a pair of $12 shoes so much and get so many uses out of them.

I haven't even worn mine since Costa Rica but I love them just the same for all the great memories in Costa Rica. I'll have to remember that I have them the next time I have to shovel the walk.

I have also worn mine in the rain here. Awesome.

By the way. Not so comfy when they are 2 sizes too big and all right. But I have worn them anyway. It brings wet muddy memories to mind and I love it.

Oh, and I love your boots too. I am so sad that we won't have much time to spend with you when you come. Maybe next time.
