"Those Boots Kill the Dress!"

This morning, I had a little extra time in my schedule and decided to go out for a good walk.  This past Saturday, I had been out for about an hour, and the experience had thoroughly refreshed and encouraged me.  I know that exercise is important, even during a pandemic!

On this morning's walk, I had multi-tasked (as I often do) getting my rosary in as I trekked the familiar route. 

When I arrived back on the St. Anne's campus, a resident who also was outside at the time greeted me, while also providing feedback on my attire: "Those boots kill the dress."  She was just being friendly and throwing in a little humor...I didn't mind her lack of appreciation for the fashion statement I had unwittingly made. 

I can't help if my wonderful boots that my mom gave me last fall don't match with the jumper I was wearing, in this lady's mind.  With water on the streets and sidewalks, there was no prudent alternative. 

Besides, "these boots were made for walkin'!"
