Hm. I blame it on the sale happening at the shoe store. “Buy one get one half off.”
My daughter tried on boot after boot, finally finding one that supplied the proper comfort and fit. I sat and watched, not needing a shoe or boot and glad to be an observer. It was time to leave – our spa appointments were waiting for us. As I turned to depart, there they were. Pepto Bismol-hued pink boots.
Some things are just meant to be. I am now properly prepared for Gaudete Sunday, the third Sunday of Advent. (Although “rose” is the proper liturgical color, not pepto-pink.) Lord knows I tried?
