Can we talk about some boots?


Can I break from my normal opinionated commentary to tell you about something I’ve been wearing for the past two years?  Hang with me; you might find this helpful if you live in a northern climate, want to look nice, but don’t want to fall on your behind while unloading groceries at your local store or running across the barnyard to catch a runaway heifer.

Durango Boots asked if I wanted to try a pair of their Lady Rebel line, and not ever having tried their boots, I figured I had nothing to lose.  I’ve been wearing them for two years now, and I have no complaints.

When I put my jeans on in the morning, I have plenty of boots to choose from, but when the snow flies or I’m going to be out and about on the farm, I reach for my Durango Lady Rebels.   I had no idea how much I would enjoy these boots until I wore them in the ice and snow of our Michigan winters. They give me plenty of traction; they are water-proof and give me all-day comfort.  If I’m going to stay inside for the day, I will shuck my boots for my slippers, but if I’m in and out, I will wear the Lady Rebels all day long and not even think about what I have on.



They have great traction, but they aren’t so aggressive that they look bulky or manly.  I want a boot to look sleek and not make my foot look too big, but I also want some traction in the slippery months.

They are true to size, run in half sizes and if you are looking for a western boot to wear with your Wranglers, Cinch, Kimes or whatever western brand you wear, Lady Rebels are a great choice for all-day, everyday wear.

You can take my word for it, or you can try them for yourself when you check out their styles here:

Thanks for letting me gush a little about the boots I love!

Big bucks spent at Butlerview Sale

Good morning from the Knolltop . It's balmy here! When we went across the road at 4:30 this morning it was 45 out and the temp is climbing...yes it smells and feels like spring and I love it....but I know it won't last. Because no one else on the web has decided to report on it, I will give a tidbit of the Butlerview Parade of Perfection Sale that happened last weekend in Elkhorn Wisconsin. The sale averaged $19,845 on 124 lots and the sale gross was....are you ready.....sit down for this one.....$2,460,800.00! Amazing isn't it? There were buyers from 23 states and Canada and the high seller was Lot 8 at $190,000 purchased by Triple Crown Genetics, Kingsmill Farm & Gene Iager . The next highest consignment was Lot 1 at $155,000 purchased by David Ludwig of Illinois and the third highest was Lot 46 at $96,000 and Mike Garrow & Gerald Todd went home with that bargain. Apparently it was a high intensity sale with well over 800 people in attendance. I just w...
JW is at it again with marketing goodies for his Senior Trip. And this is what he left on my stove after his entrepreneurial chocolate fest! Monday he bought the molds and chocolate and made some samples to take to school. Tuesday he took his pretty packages of goodies and handed them out, took the orders and sold $96 worth of chocolates! With the pretty boxes and bags his Nana sent up from Georgia, he melted his chocolate, put them in molds, stuck them in the freezer, tapped them out of the molds and put them in some fancy boxes and bags. This morning he took a laundry basket full of bags and boxes to deliver at school. I'm amazed at how a little packaging can take ordinary chocolate...and I mean ORDINARY...we're not talking Dove or Cadbury ....ORDINARY chocolate and make it into something people will buy. Just amazing!

Table Linens

Good Morning from a cool and kind of cloudy Knolltop! Wasn't that elf thing funny? I had a friend from PA send that to me and I laughed for at least 10 minutes. Then when I collected myself, I made one with my kids and me. You can only have five elves, so I didn't stick Bobby in...I should have! What a hoot! When the kids got home they watched it and we all laughed together! Then while we were milking we were trying to do the dance moves...of course we weren't nearly as good in our barn clothes as we are in our elf outfits! I said I would share a little more of thanksgiving, so I will now. Today's topic is simple. Linen. More specifically, linen tableclothes. My mom and I love linens and she has a boatload of old linens her mom gave to her. She loves to starch and iron them and hang them up to admire. I have to admit, there is nothing better than a freshly starched tablecloth. Then it was time to set the table for Thanksgiving we practially had a tablecloth unveiling. S...
