For my mom's birthday it was decided that us girls(4) were going to get her new winter boots. She has two pairs of boots now, she told me that one pair is probaby 50 years old and the other I remember from when I was in high school. That is how old they are. So I decided that mom needed a new pair of boots and she was going to get UGGs. I have a pair and they are awesome at keeping my feet warm. Mom was not thrilled with this idea, she thought her boots were perfectly fine. That was until this past Thursday. When we go the snow and it was below zero. I was talking to her and she said, I need those boots you want to get me. So Friday I meet her uptown in Pella at Brown's shoe store. Just a little info on mom. She is a bargin shopper and is always looking at prices. So I thought that I would get to the store before her and get the sales people up to date. Basically under NO circumstances was she to see the prices. I walk into the store and she is already there. Luckily they were looking at the wrong boots, saved there. The sales person and I sat her down and started bringing her boots to try on. She finally had it down to two boot. So I had her put a different boot on each foot. After walking around she had made her decision. (this was 20 minutes later and after alot of questions). She picked the ones I was wanting for her to begin with but she needed to choose for herself. They are a beautiful soft brown leather with the UGG shearling inside. She wanted to wear them out of the store so the sales person sprayed them down with sealant for her.
I paid for the boot and the sales person boxed up her old ones and away we went...But wait the price is on the box. So I had the sales person mark out the cost of the boots. Then mom and I went to Smokey Row for lunch. As we were walking, I actually think mom was strutting alittle, mom goes.."these are really warm". I just smiled.
Mom and her new boots.
I called her later and she said that they are two pretty to wear. I informed her that she will wear them everytime she goes out and there is snow on the ground or it is cold. That UGGs are like pearls you need to wear them. I dont know if she believed that but I was worth a try. I stopped out after work and gave the boots another good spraying with the waterproof spray. So Mom is all set for the winter. If history serves she will have her new boots for a long time.
Oh on a side note. She could read the price on the box. I think she got out a magnifying glass to do this but oh well. I think she is excited to have a new pair of boots.
I had fun watching her try on all of them.
Until Next time...PEACE
