Snow shoes

Snow and Shoes No I haven’t yet got snow shoes – though the time is fast approaching when I will! Last Tuesday we had our first snow flurries during the day – it was wet, cold and miserable! I had of course booked myself in for my first appointment with a new chiropractor that day, which required a thirty minute walk downtown in the midst of it all. About half way there my little toes were numb and frozen. I reflect on the shoes I was wearing – see below. They are my favorites! But I realized that since I bought them while on a summer holiday in Positano Italy last year, they may not be the best shoes for a Canadian winter! Peter dutifully played knight in shining armor (or is amore?!) and picked me up between appointments after my chiropractor treatment and drove me home so my toes could defrost! Once I got back, I headed straight to the Sears catalogue (view it all online at http://www.sears.ca/ ) and ordered myself a pair of women’s riding boots. For $80 CAD I got a pair of leather boots, insulated with all the fancy lining and extra warm stuff required for snow wear. They arrived two days later. I paid the extra for delivery and didn’t leave the house again until they showed up. Well not really, but only because Wednesday was warmer. I did however immediately retire my Italian leather shoes and instead spent Wednesday out and about in jeans and sneakers (Seinfeld here we come!)
