It is my belief and conviction that every little girl should have a pair of boots. Sometimes little southern girls don't really get boots as they aren't really needed as a necessity but at around age five, wise Santa Clause brought me a pair of White Majorette boots and it was love at first sight. They looked a lot like these. I squeezed my poor little feet into them until I probably ruined my toes for life but I loved them. I'd polish them with white shoe polish and rub them until the shine came back and I thought I was something.
Later I discovered Cowgirl books. Good old Santa delivered them as well when I was around eight. They looked something like this.
And so I guess that explains why starting last year I've made sure my little name sake has a pair of boots. We bought this years yesterday, and I know she loves them as much as I ever did. Having a pair of boots is a MUST when you are a little girl and that's the truth!
> And anyway, putting a smile on a little girl's face is always worth it, plus, no little girl should go through life without a funky pair of boots. And that's the Truth!

Go for it MeMaw, every girl needs a pair of boots and they never go out of style.
Steph, I know, school will ruin them for sure! But that's ok, they are for her to wear! At least she didn't pick out the light colored ones.
I always wanted a pair of majorette boots but never got a pair.
After I married I had a pair of the shiny go go boots that I really loved.
You are a wonderful grandma, and I know your namesake is looking forward to you being close.
Hey Shirley, really this little Robbin is not my granddaughter but I claim her as such. Her mom is ten years younger than me and named her after me, with the two B's as well and she lives here, so when I move to be with my granddaughter, I leave her behind, but maybe her mom and she can visit, I hope.
Oh that would be so cool if they would come visit in Washington! I just LOVE this post. It's one of my favorite ones on your whole blog - such a cute picture of your childhood and why you are carrying on the tradition!
Well thank you Amy.
