Here are the things I’m loving this week:
—The cocktail question, by Doniree, a fantastic post that will make you think a lot about what it is you do, not just at work.
—An old story, yes, but still a good one, and one I shared with my students this week as we read Langston Hughes’ wonderful short story, “Thank You Ma’am.” A big thanks to Patti Digh for reminding me of it via Facebook.
—A post full of poetry by the lovely Hannah.
—Can I just say again that I want to be Gwen Bell? But her posts this week have been lovely.
—Also, I am coveting a pair of worn in cowboy boots, any color, in a size 6.5 with room for my apparently GINORMOUS calves. Anyone have a suggestion?!
Happy Friday, y’all.

So, I just found a website for the issue of having wide calves because I’m in the same boat….
endless.com
click on boots
click the option of “wide calves”
AWESOME!
I might be making some purchases soon….
Hope that helps!

Frye makes boots with wide calves. You can pretty much pick the style you want and then order it with a wide calf.
