You're not looking for a new coat already, are you?
Ohhhhh the controversy!!
I think I'd like a nice wool peacoat actually. And a pair of boots. There's a sweet pair of boots in the catalogue that I want but they are almost $300.
I have a cool peacoat.....but I got it at the Army Surplus...there was a terrific one in Tulsa, OK...it was Navy issue, too
One followed me here last year...I tried to trash it..but got caught.....not the wool coat...no use for one of those here...the Cabela's
I've had no luck finding one in good shape AND in my size 2nd hand/army surplus. I've been on a quest for one for over a year. I'm gonna give it through Christmas and then I'll buy a new one if one doesn't land under the Santa tree this year.

HMmm...I'd think with the AF academy and bases close you'd have a good army/navy surplus store...Tulsa only has reserve and Guard units...
I love mine, it's all the more special because it's government issue...alas, no where to wear it here....
When it goes from full to crescent...I move in and out of tune...Everlasting Moon....

They aren't so close to me. I'm north west of Denver. It's a good 45 minute drive to the nearest base (Buckley) and an hour and a half to Colo Springs to the AF academy.
There is an Army/Navy surplus in my town, though, but I haven't seen what Im looking for in there.

For some reason I thought the catalogue had them listed for more.
OMG! Everyone wore those in the late 60s early 70s! They get very comfortable with continued wear!
and!!! remember the ones covered in Denim?????
I'm torn between the brown or black ones. I want a pair of each.
buy good polish. the toes get creamed in a hurry..
OH Wait... you aren't a seventeen year old Boy..
Well, I have a 9 year old little girl who HAD to have for-real saddle shoes for school this year, so I am sorely becoming an expert on WHITE shoe polish. She just rips those toes up sumpin' fierce.

sandals all year 'round....
those $200 boots'll buy...maybe 4 pr. of Birks...lotsa flip flops...
I can't say I've even seen a pair of boots since I've been here....
I'm actually looking forward to "boot" season in Colorado. Fall here is probably my favorite season. I like it just cool enough to have to wear a cute sweater, but not a coat.

AWWW but she is sooo cute..
you do a good job Mom
Awwww, Waynie! You're cute!
She and her daddy planted daffodil and tulip bulbs in the front yard today. It was very sweet.
They are going to make a sign this winter: "Daddy's Daffodils, Tori's Tulips"
And I got to be the hero tonight when I found the Missing Math Homework!
