A Frontier Woman’s Mother’s Day…

I’ve been thinking for some time now, about getting a cow gal hat...


so the Legal Dude decided to get me one for Mother’s Day.

I forget what that twined rope thingy is called, but it’s usually hooked under the chin while riding—or as only in Wyoming, whenever the wind blows.  (I'm told this is the way to lay a hat so as not to lose it's shape.)


My hat is from Martindale’s Western Wear in downtown Laramie, where I went to get...


this funky looking little Boot Jack, since I have such a hard time getting my boots off—old age and poor achy lumbar—and have been telling the Legal Dude I want one, besides he could use it too.

My oh my!  What a difference a Boot Jack makes!


More important, however, I wanted to the Legal Dude to see a really sweet pair of Corral boots I'm thinking I might want for my birthday...

The pair I want is tone on tone
w/out the tourquise inlay.
First though, I needed to make sure I could “make them me,” since they are nothing like I have ever worn before.

Yep. No problem—I can definitely make them me.
