Yesterday while on our morning break walk, with me wearing my new V-neck T-shirt birthday present, I mentioned that I had an idea of what I wanted for Christmas. A new pair of hiking boots. My old faithful pair of Hi-Tec’s were starting to look a little ratty and the soles were getting kind of worn down. I figured new boots were the perfect gift, something that I didn’t really need, but wanted and are reasonably priced (unlike most things that make my usual Christmas list.)
This morning Donna asked if there was any place locally that I might be able to buy those hiking boots. I told her possibly Academy Sports over in Augusta. She then asked, “Do you want to go over and see?” It took a couple of seconds before I finally realized she was offering not to just look, but let me buy some.
My mom didn’t raise no fool (I left home too early), so I said,”You know, there is a place here in Aiken that sells Merrell shoes, they might have something.” Not too much later I was the proud new owner of a pair of size 11 Moab Mid GORE-TEX XCR in Dark Earth.
