ug

Miriam has always had cold feet.

Not the kind that kept her from marrying me, but literally. Then UGGs came into our life. I had never heard of UGGs until just before christmas.

They loudly proclaim they are Australian, but they are made in China. Sounds logical I guess. They are lined warm shoes for women. For some reason they were considered fashionable a while back (I don't even figure the fashion thing out) and now they are cool.

The daughters gave Miriam a pair of them for Christmas. Lots of them are calf high, but hers are ankle high.

In the bus I have an old fashioned rubber hot water bottle. I take it with us when we go camping. Before UGGs, I filled that thing up every night with quite warm water, to keep Miriam's cold feet off me, when we went to bed.

At first she said she was impressed by my thoughtfulness, but I said it was pure selfishness. I wanted to avoid the ice cube on my calf thing.

Any way, since the UGGs, we have not used the water bottle very often. I don't mind heating the water and I don't mind the bother, but I am glad it is not as necessary now.

Thanks daughters!
