A place for my stories

I decided to create this blog as a place for me to put my many stories. I will begin with one that gave me the title for this blog.

From the time I can remember, I’ve always loved red cowboy boots, more specifically, red ropers (which is boot that has a lower hill, a more rounded toe and they don’t go as far up the leg). I had at least three pairs of these growing up; and yet, I still never seemed to get my fill of them. This fascination with red ropers dissipated over the years, at least consciously.

Several years ago I bought a pair of red heels. These quickly became my favorite shoe and I found every reason to wear them. But I never really thought about why I love these shoes so much, I just love them.

Tonight I realized and remembered my fascination. I was at the Ten out of Tenn concert at Workplay (highly recommended). Ashley Monroe came on stage wearing red riding boots. I suddenly remembered how much I loved red boots!

The thought of red boots, and my past red ropers, filled me with such a great joy! I want that joy that comes from putting on shoes that make me feel like I can do anything. I want to experience that joy that come from putting on a new pair of shoes that give you some sort of mystical power. I want a pair of red ropers (well, riding boots would be nice too).
