I’ve come to realize of late that a good man is an awful lot like a sturdy pair of cowgirl boots.
How so?
Well, they will both:
1. …protect you from snakes.
2. …cut through the crap.
3. …look as good in jeans as out.
4. …refuse to fall apart, even under stress.
5. …have a tough but flexible sole/soul.
6. …be easy to get on, and damn hard to shake off.
7. …look better with a few scuffs and wrinkles.
8. …start off a little slippery, but get grounded as you wear on ‘em.
9. …shape themselves perfectly to you…with time.
10. …come at a cost, but last forever.
Very good! Boots in the pix are ugly tho!
Agree with Dee. Today would have been my cowboy’s birthday. Life is fleeting, but love lasts forever.
I should have added “love lasts forever like an old pair of good cowboy boots.”
I love it! The only difference that I would point out is that while I only have one boy, I have several pairs of boots…
Thanks for the smile

Absolutely love this list! Very true.
Every guy I’ve met lately is scared of snakes.
That’s not a good sign, is it?
#11 (added by my cowboy after reading this to him as we went to gather up some horses): They keep you well connected to the ground.
Now I don’t know if that was just because I’m a bird-brain scientist somedays or silly city slicker….but I continually get reminded of reality by cattle-folk.
There was always something very real – and a little bit sexy – about seeing those beat up Tony Lamas parked by our bed at night.
I know what you mean!
I have a lotta love for seeing his big *insert fancy name here* boots and spurs beside my smaller, more feminine ones at the back door. Both are always covered in you-know-what and remind me of so many good laughs
I love it! Thank you both.
It’s been 11 years and I would gladly welcome even the ‘you-know-what’. Guess there’s just something about a cowboy!
