An old family friend, came and picked me up on Sat, to drive me around so I could run errands - transit is horrible here.

I said the first store I want to is so I can get new winter boots. She asked what size I am and I said 9. She said she had a pair of almost brand new size 9 boots in her car that she was trying to give away. She'd bought them a couple of years ago before her hip replacement and now she can't bend down to put them on.

They're exactly what I wanted, knee high, faux fur lined and waterproof and they're comfortable.

She just gave them to me, which I really appreciated since I can't afford much.

It was a definite early Christmas present.

I was given new winter boots

What a wonderful early Christmas present!!! Amazing how people are trying to get rid of things that we want.

Enjoy your new boots. They sound GREAT!

Love when that happens especially when quality winter boots are so expensive
