Milli, can you wear your boots all around town where you are? I am lucky that I live in a place (Denver) where I can wear my boots and cowboy hat all the time. Though sometimes I do go a bit overboard...when I am wearing my snap-front Western shirt and bolo tie in the spring, sometimes people in the office say, "Uh, Lee, rodeo season (the big rodeo here is in January) is over."
You're in the Rocky Mountains too, correct? I had the impression that one could wear cowboy boots in Calgary and other parts of Alberta. I passed thru there recently on my way to Saskatoon, wearing my boots (they're easy to get on and off at security). But when I got to Saskatoon, people stared at me somethun fierce! And it was different than I thought it would be. Sort of like a little bit of London plopped down on the prairie.
Say I can wear my cowboy boots when I come there in July!!
