The heck with the olive oil, it's all about the boots. :-) Bob was the one to
first hail the beginning of boot season
this year. My particular weakness is these UGG style boots.
Kristen Bell wore a pair, tan, with shorts, in a scene in Veronica Mars. Did
strange things to me and still emblazoned
in memory. :-)
We buy Greek olive oil from a local importer who has a picture of his
grandmother in the orchard on the label. Meets our
taste/price criteria.
