Woody got up early and walked his four-mile route. He has spent a lot of time reading and working on the computer today. For me...it was a ride to the shoe store with Kathy and the five grandchildren to see if we could find back-to-school shoes for them. It has become Woody's and my tradition to get them shoes periodically from our local family owned shoe store so they are fitted and measured...the old fashioned way...finding out length and width of their growing feet. They each chose a style off the wall and then the big question was whether that style could be found in their size. We managed to find the exact shoe that three wanted...but Esther and Abigail had to settle for a second choice...but all came away pretty happy with the style, color, and fit. Elijah liked his so well that he even took his nap wearing his! This is the first time that we have taken them all at the same time. But this is a tax-free weekend here in TN on clothing and school supplies...so we took advantage of no tax. This afternoon was dark and dreary with thundering rumbling and seeming to threaten that we would get storms, but we never really got much of a storm. It rained a small amount...just enough to get it pretty steamy outside. I couldn't get up any momentum to do much so decided that it was a good afternoon to read. I finished a book yesterday and am about half-way through the next one in this series...The Elm Creek Quilt series. Just two more books after this one and I will be current with this series.
The answer to last night's blog question...what kind of cows were pictured was kindly answered by one of our faithful blog readers. They are Banded Galloways...a Scottish breed.
