Hiking Boots

Spring has arrived in Wisconsin! At least I hope it has! I realize it's still March and it can definitely still snow in March and sometimes even in April, but we've had some wonderfully warm and sunny weather lately! The weather makes me want to get out to the State Park to go hiking with the dog. I really need some new hiking boots though! I found a site that not only has great deals on hiking boots, but work boots too. The hiking boots I have now are old and aren't very waterproof. I'd really like to get a full leather pair that are waterproof, especially for use at this time of the year when it can get kind of wet outside.

I have lots of friends whose husbands wear work boots to their job everyday - I'm definitely going to pass this site on to them!

Saint Patrick's Day

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!!! I'm a little bit Irish so I always wear green on March 17th! A friend asked if we were having corned beef for dinner, but we're not! I should have made Irish Stew though! My kids, who are Guatemalan, always ask if they're Irish, and I tell them that while they aren't Irish by blood, some of their adoptive ancestors were Irish, so they are too. And besides, isn't everyone a little bit Irish on St. Patrick's Day? My kids go to a Catholic school that happens to be named St. Patricks, so today is a big day at school!!!
