I blogged on an early December day and when I turned around it was a late January afternoon.<br />
<br />
Sometimes creative souls, like myself, let our creative tea cups go empty and we need to regroup, recharge and revive our pot of tea so that our creative cups will run~ith over! Cha~cha~cha!<br />
<br />
Done!<br />
<br />
I wanted to share a splendid little story about a moment a couple of weeks ago in the produce department of the grocery store. It was one of those moments that gets in your soul and makes you really think.<br />
<br />
This woman comes up to me while I was selecting apples and tells me that she loves my cowboy boots...."so do I", I tell her enthusiastically...and as I am about to tell her about how stinkin' comfortable they are...when she cuts me off and leans in and says to me..."they make you look fearless"...yes, she said... fearless. It took my breath away.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-IHC0qZV_LAlxknBi3TAuT8N-hwbtQ0_SKOQUVTobBEzCCAdTVSVd_XqORqFLmanh2hhhtITQyxUeqK2xsQukY5d-1IlTheKK4Mr9AI4jxP9FMCFESg6vFxR2C4n3m5F0X0qUuAUIpzc/s1600/DSCF5910.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-IHC0qZV_LAlxknBi3TAuT8N-hwbtQ0_SKOQUVTobBEzCCAdTVSVd_XqORqFLmanh2hhhtITQyxUeqK2xsQukY5d-1IlTheKK4Mr9AI4jxP9FMCFESg6vFxR2C4n3m5F0X0qUuAUIpzc/s400/DSCF5910.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
Never thought of myself this way...but I like it. The truth is...when I wear my boots I do feel a tad more spunky about everything I am doing. <br />
<br />
Little did I know that my ol' worn cowboy boots were a mirror to my soul.<br />
<br />
And, they are....I am fearless.<br />

Then she said to me...."Well, why don't you call it Donkey???" Which begs the question..."Why would I call it Donkey?" To which she replies...."Because donkeys have layers!" Guess I haven't seen Shrek lately...this child cracks me up daily...lucky me!<br />
<br />
So about those LAYERS...<br />
<br />
Like adding more blankets to your beds...potatoes to your stew, a sweater or two to your ensemble it is time to add layers to our homes...isn't it the fun~est time of year to decorate?<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">Yes....I think I dripped sunscreen on my Uggs....and it is no wonder....for it has been the drippiest Spring and early Summer known to man here in the ol' Northwest.

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Because this time last year our youngest Son was deployed to Afghanistan and <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">today</span></i> he is on the way back home to us.

</div><div style="text-align: center;">His Brigade was hit harder than any other in Afghanistan. These men have really been through it.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
