I Remember

My cowboy boots

When I was about 3 years old, I would get up early Saturday mornings and watch the cowboy movies on TV with my brothers. I would look at the cowboys walking with their boots on, spurs on the back of the heel, making a noise when they walked. I loved to look at those boots and wanted a pair of cowboy boots like that. One Christmas my parents surprised me with a pair. It made me very happy. Every morning I would put on my cowboy boots. I wore those boots every day until I wore them out.
