When I do a book event, I dress up in sort of western attire; long skirt and vest, and with my hair up in a bun with a Spanish comb stuck in it … and the one thing that I have been lacking so far is a pair of cowboy boots. Well, a very nice pair came up at my daughter’s favoite reseale shop, – the Squirrel’s Nest in Boerne, which supports the Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation center near Kendalia.

And now they are mine-mine-mine – an only-worn-once pair of Ariat boots … behold, in all their glory!

Yes, the transformation is now complete. All I need is one of those tee-shirts with the Gonzalez cannon and ‘Come and Take It’ on it … and I saw those for sale last weekend at a booth at Boerne Market Days.
