Because I'm always thinking of Joan, I thought I'd take her to buy a pair of boots today. It wasn't because she needed them to walk in the snow; it was more about her feet staying warm when she was outside. You know she doesn't do much walking anymore because most of her life is either in the recliner or in the wheelchair. But, nevertheless, I'm always concerned about her warmth when we are outside. So, I took her to the little shopping mall called Pestka, and there we went in to try on different kinds of boots.
She picked up one pair that seemed would look good on her, but when she tried them on it was too difficult to get them on. So we went back to the shoe racks, and she looked at another pair. The first pair were kind of short boots, but the second pair were higher up her leg. The last time I bought her any shoes, she wore what's called a size 39. However, when I tried either pair in size 39, neither one of them would fit. I went back to the racks, picked out a pair of size 42, and took them back for her to try on. They both fit much more easily, and since she didn't really need them to walk on, she decided they were a good fit. And she decided that a taller pair of boots would be better, which I was happy about. Originally, they were 179 PLN, but when I took them up to the cashier, the price was 125 PLN. So I was happy about that. Now she has new boots.
Back at home, we started a new documentary series developed by the documentarian, Ken Burns. It is called the American Revolution, and it has 12 parts. Each part is 1 hour long, so we decided to watch one party today. After watching the first part tonight, I think it is something all Americans should watch. I think it would be especially good for anyone who voted for Trump to see how the country began, the struggles they had, the difficult times ahead, and the problems they had to solve to form a democracy. You can find it on the YouTube channel. All 12 parts are available.
