COWBOYS BOOTS AND GUNS

 

Friends,

 

I had a good email to go with that title! An inspiration, matter of fact.   We entered the door to our favorite fast food place, El Toro's...  and CRACKKKK, I knew what I had done..... Joshua and the door connected.  More exact, his head and the door connected.  It wasn't a thud, or thunk... but CRACK... I immediately bent down and comforted him.... holding his head... I expected to see a great big goose egg growing on his head... but instead of crying, he didn't, I did, but he didn't..... he toughed it and I apologized profusely... felt so bad..... these three year olds are just at or above knee level and you can't tell where they are.   Anyhow... he is fine.. the little goose egg is on the very front of his forehead... he manned  up, as Jed would say....

 

We entered the store and ordered and Josh is wearing his all the time shoes, COWBOY BOOTS and shorts.  No socks, No underwear.... just him and boots, shorts, and shirt... his very favorite combination.

He attracts much attention with his boots.  They nearly touch his knees..  This particular man, not a old man, but middle age man... commented on  Josh's fashion sense of dress... he was impressed by his boots.... three years olds do look funny walking in them....   Most days we go some where someone will say something to him about his boots.  So I decided to take a picture of them while they are in somewhat good condition.   Back to the man who commented to him at El Toro's.... this particular man was packing a side arm.  In Tenn, it is legal to have one with a permit.  We speculated he was a off duty police officer or just a concerned citizen.  We don't see that often-- a man in regular street clothes packing a side arm.  I feel safe enough that in the event he had to use it with me in the same room, he could.  We still don't have the answers, but it made good conversation.  I thought it interesting that m en comment on cowboy boots.  They are the ones who love to wear them.  Women think they are handsome, more on the how they look affect.

 

So when Josh grows up he can get a permit and have a side arm and wear some cowboys boots!!

That will get the girls every time!!

 

Josh's mom!
