My mom has been gone for over 10 years. I saved one shirt that she used to wear. I actually wore it quite a bit myself. It was one of my favorites. I don't wear it anymore but can't bring myself to get rid of it. We treasure things because we are connected to them somehow. Keep those boots Jami. Make a planter out of them or get them resoled. Either way you will still have them to treasure.
Remember those have gone through lost of loved ones, home, material things ect. Use a shield as to not get attached to a lot of things. Because the pain is to unbearable to Remember ❤I speak this from my Heart. I used to be very sentimental but when I lost my Loved Ones Things don't hold much meaning. 😪 You are Blessed and you have lost so much and been through so much and still have Sentiment 🙏
My husband used to get his boots RE-Soled & New Heels. He wore them for driving his Semi's. Shoe repair shops are far & in-between today. Have you checked the area for one? Maybe Uriel knows of one. Couldn't hurt to look, right! Luv ya: Gram👵in Tx. 🙏❤
There are people who work on shoes who could put a whole new soul on those boots you’re just gonna have to look around to find them, but they are still professionals who know how to put new souls on those shoes and you don’t have to lose it just because you have the bottom one out you can replace that whole bottomof the boot
Just resole your boots or make planters out of them I plant Hens and chicks plants in old boots you just cut holes in different places and put the hens plants in the holes turn out so cute I have many sets and I use rain boots also
I'm coming to say the same thing! Jami, don't make planters out of them. Put them on top of your bookcase or cabniets and use them like bookends for your cookbooks.
I have a pair of 3x mens sweat pants that were my Dad's, he passed in 2009. I still wear them. I have washed them over and over but in my head, I can still smell him. I know it's not possible, they smell like fresh laundry but I still smell him. A cat was "making biscuits" on my leg last year and made a hole with her claw, I cried my eyes out 😢. I immediately mended them and they are ok now. Strange to say, I feel comforted and strong in them, even just on my couch. I wore them thru through my separation and divorce, all of my emotional days, they give me strength. I know it's not the sweatpants, it's my subconscious. He taught me so many life trades, how to do carpentry, plumbing, change a flat tire, change my oil, check all fluids in the car. He always taught me to be strong and be reliant on my own self. I lost my Mom when I was 17. I have her robe ❤. I love this video more than you will ever know. Much love from St Louis
@@FromSuitstoBoots they will fall off me, they are BIG and the tie string is in a knot that I can't get out. They literally fall to my ankles. I don't care, I wear them anyway. 💙
I don't feel so bad, my brother, my hero passed in 2012 and I still sleep in his work shirts. Every time I put one on or take it off it's like a big bear hug.
Go to a good cobbler, I had a pair of boots that I wore every day for 29 years, he finally said retire them, there is no leather left to stretch. So I buried them in the field!
That tops me. Mine lasted 10 years, but it was more that my calves got too fat for them. Never could find another pair that was wide width with a wide barrel to fit. Broke my heart to get rid of them but the lady who bought them was over the moon happy. Who knows how long she had them.
Just about to say get them re-soled, I took my ex-husband boots year's ago and got them done, my daughter wanted a pair of hers done but sadly she'd worn them out too much above the sole, she now knows to get them done sooner ♥️👋🇬🇧
I love the idea of using the boots as a planter! They have seen, done, and walked through so many experiences. I can't wait to see them used as a planter!💚💚💚
You’ve had a full year…it’s been my honor and privilege to have watched your channel over this last year and some…Jami you and Lester are living a super blessed life. Thank you for sharing your journey with the millions of subscribers!
So recognizable Jami. I just had my first orthopedic shoes repaired for the 19th time this week. They are now 20 years old and still my best shoes ever. They are no longer beautiful, but they are the shoes that I can walk with to some extent, despite the fact that I have been fitted with several shoes in recent years. Unfortunately they are no longer for sale so I continue to take them to the cobbler every year. I put it in my will that I want to leave this earth with these shoes on my feet, they mean that much to me.🧡🧡
When i was working driving trucks in Texas i acctually wore my Dads boots. He passed and we kept them they were still good working ones. Dont worry he was buried with his nice one. I was the only one who they fit so i wore them until the soles wore out. He was a real COWBOY . HE WORE THEM WHEN HE BROKE HORSES... WORKED WITH HORSES.. SHOEING THEM... BATHING THEM... WRANGLING THEM. HE DID IT ALL. SO PROUD OF MY DADDY A LITTLE MAN WITH A BIG HEART. HE WORKED IN EAST TEXAS ON A LOT OF RANCHES.
When you look down onto the boots, the openings are heart-shaped❤! I think some new soles and insoles could fix your problems! But bronzing them would be cool, too!
Good morning Jami. I have a flannel shirt that my Dad use to wear all the time. I only wear it around the house but when I put it on the memories of him come flooding back. I know that his smell is long gone but it's the thought and memories of him being around. Last year when we bought our country property and I was staying here by myself because of the construction crew would show up at the crack of dawn to begin working I always had on the flannel shirt. It made me feel like I wasn't alone anymore. After 6 months of construction and several more months of cleaning and getting things ready we finally got moved. My husband asked why I hadn't bought a new flannel shirt. I told him nope this is going to be here and worn when I struggle. You can have the boots resoled but most likely it would cost just as much as buying a new pair. Plant some flowers in them and start a tradition of it. Line your garden and flower beds with your old boots. Heck line the driveway with them so you'll have all the memories to share with your children and anyone else you choose to share them with. I can't believe that in my 50's I chosen to start a farm and begin a new life. It's been a stressful long year of getting the property ready. But either today or tomorrow our first animals will be here on our farm. Wish my family luck, I have 2 adult children (disabled) and a 10 year old grandson that are along for the ride. 😂 Hubby has no idea what he's in for either! 🤣 Our grandson has Asperger's (autism) and knows everything about all the animals we're going to raise. I finally convinced him we can't get a dolphin or a penguin for our pond. 🤷🤦 Have a wonderful day! Much love from our family to your family 💞
#replay Jami 💓 that was so heart warning. My sweet BFF 💗 and I was crying to but it reminded me of my grandmother and a conversation she and I had not about shoes but her hands, she was always saying her hands were so ugly, so one day I asked her what all her hands had done and at this time she was 99 year's old and she started telling me and I told her after all the thousands of biscuits and meals she had cooked and all the children she had took care of and all the cotton she holed and picked and all the love and all the prayers that she had folded her hands and prayed that to me they are the most beautiful hands that I have ever seen. She lived to be 101 years old and I miss hearing her prayers. Thank you for reminding me of how much meaning that the small things matter, has small has a pair of Boots or a granddaughter's hands. Jami you are a special lady. Love y'all and God bless you and your family and all the animals and feather's 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Morning Jami Those boots were made for walking and you certainly did that in them boots. Melancholy is good not a bad or silly thing we all have something. Profound video today but it’s good to look back from time to time and the new boots are also made for walking too. Loved timeout Tues last night. Have a great day take care lots of love and prayers God Bless. 💕🙏👢
Jami you can get those boots resoled & they will be like BRAND NEW BOOTS!!!! You go GIRL & GET THEM MADE BRAND NEW!!!! Love You & Your Boots! Adele Somewhere i West Michigan... 4/17/24 @ 7:15 AM Eastern Time...........
This episode fits your page name…from suits to BOOTS ❤️ You’ve scooted those boots through thick and thin, happy and sad, and this is a sweet boot eulogy. 🥰
Dear boots, Our adventure started with a click of a button and a ride to my doorstep!! Our journey started when my feet touched your sole and then hit the ground creating miles of memories. You were with me through good times, sad times and happy times. Many happy hellos and a some sad goodbyes. We got dirty and we got muddy. We walked and walked and you were with me through rain, wind and even fire. Through stories told and some just between you and me, you were always right there!! Memories made and though you are wore out So, your journey is not over. So from one soul to another sole, I thank you!!!❤❤❤
When shoes/boots fit well, that's a huge challenge. And all the memories tied to them. They deserve to be re-souled(soled) and given new life. Much like us given renewed breath.
I lost my sister from.brain cancer 3 years ago. She told me that before she passed that I get all of her clothes and shoes. Well we were the same shoe size and I wore her favorite sketches for years. I wore them on every trip and many regular days until the soles came off and the fabric was holy. In those shoes I took her to Nashville twice, and drove from Maine to Texas twice with all the stops in between. I did finally throw them away but after many years of use I felt I could stand on my own 2 feet. I was stronger now. She was my best friend, my confidant and Co worker and is terribly missed. I still have other pieces of clothing of hers but they don't mean the same thing. Hold onto those boots and you'll have those special memories to look back on for many years . ❤
Jami, I still have my show boots an English saddle from my days of showing horses and ponies, and I will never give them up seen that makes me remember how what a wonderful childhood and teen years I had!❤❤❤❤. Enjoy your blessed day XXXO 💕😁
Jami you wore them through the good bad & ugly and it's not how they look but how they were worn and you wore them with grace & dignity girl we had the same idea a cool boot pot for flowers or like my sister has done a bird house 💖🙏
I have my husband’s boots he passed can’t get rid of. I understand Jamie life is a roller coaster. The older I get the more. I understand it much love grandma kathleen 💚
Take those boots to a shoe repair place and get them resoled. My dad and mom do that to their still good shoes. Just a thought. Great video . Love watching you and Lester .
I got my prom dress for the year that I graduated cuz my senior class bought it for me because we lost our house in a fire that year in 1989 and I still have it to this day.
I highly recommend Timberland boots for excellent support, waterproofing and durability. You get what you pay for, in boots. I do have a pair of steel toed boots, from Walmart, and a pair of cowboy boots, heck, I have a bunch of boots. But my Timberlands are my forever boots. Every pair has a different purpose, but my black suede hikers with rubber souls have been my favorite, forever. I can't wear cowboy boots all day every day, anymore. I wish I could, but nope. Those new boots are pretty fancy, Jami! I hope they wear in okay!
We all have that one thing that holds memories for us. Glad you are keeping this pare and planting flowers in them. They will still make you happy. Enjoy them! ❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤ Love it ❤❤❤❤❤❤ You can have soles of boots redone at boot shops❤❤❤❤ ❤Memories❤ Yes..keep for memories❤ Nothing strange about that..Your forever always..❤❤Awesome& Kind&Caring..good soft hearted❤ We Love that about you ❤Jami❤ Don't change Anything of You❤
Those boots have been through your life's ups and downs. They are special memories and making a planter out of them is a great idea. It'll be new beginnings like an old able (soul) finding new life and purpose. ❤
Good morning Jami! Those boots were made for walking and you’ve definitely done that. Oh the miles you’ve walked in those boots to love and care for all the babies along Lester’s side as well as creating a beautiful home. You’ve not only planted a lot of love and care into the babies but into the soil as well. Your boots have a story to tell. Hope you a blessed day! ❤
I have to say this really touched me this morning because ever since my heart failure two years ago, I had multiple strokes and ended up with compartment syndrome and drop foot. I have had numerous surgeries on my foot and I cannot get into my boots anymore I lived in those boots, and nobody understands what I’m going through because they are such a big part of me. I wore those to fish, to hunt, to hike to work outside in the garden to work outside with the animals. The boots were such a big part of who I am and I am no longer able to wear them which makes me not that person anymore and my heart has been shattered but everyone around me just thinks it’s silly and they don’t understand me at all. It is so depressing I sit in my house and cry because all I want is my foot to be back so I can get back to who I was. I cannot be that person in crocs and unfortunately that’s the only shoe that I can put on this deformed foot. I am afraid I will never be able to look cute or beautiful again. I am surrounded by all of these beautiful women, and I am no longer one of them and it shatters me. I feel like I’m never going to have my life back and every time I see someone in boots it is so painful because I used to be that girl and I miss her so much.
GOOD MORNING JAMI...love you and your videos , was just wondering why you didnt take ernie and oakie since annie was the protrector at ISS//sending love from your adopted gram in Ct xo
It's not weird... My 15-year-old GE heating pad died this weekend... I almost cried, I turned it off and on, tryin' to see if it had ONE MORE spark of life left, it did not, I have not thrown it away yet. The new AUTO shut-off one's SUCK.. that old heating pad has seen a lot and served me and my family very well... she will be missed, I am searching online for a new in-the-box, VENTIGE GE heating pad or a new one without auto-shutoff... ( you can have boots resoled...
Jami, boot stretch is nothing more than rubbing alcohol in a tiny spray bottle, but 100% more expensive. Spray it on the insides, & put them on damp. Works wonders. I've been using it for years. Try it. It may be just the ticket. & Dr. Shoals (sp?) Of course. ❤❤
You have been through so much and here you are, like a Badazz, showing us All that trauma doesn't have to be a life-long sentence and that it can be overcome. But it takes baby steps and one day at a time💞. Jami, I burn through the soles of ariets and justin boots every 6months. Like, completely down to the inner leather sole. BUT, My Corral boot soles last 2 years☺️👍🏼. I have to have new soles put on all my boots at least once. If you would like, I would be Happy to take your boots to my cobbler guy. He will make your boots almost new again . I would love to do this for You. Plz, LMK🩷
This makes me think of the song, "I'm Gonna Be (500 miles)" Of course insert woman in place of man, lol. "When I'm workin', yes, I know I'm gonna be I'm gonna be the man who's workin' hard for you And when the money comes in for the work I do I'll pass almost every penny on to you When I come home (When I come home), oh, I know I'm gonna be I'm gonna be the man who comes back home to you"
Can you make them flower holders for a rainbow bridge garden memorial for Dixie, Huck, Abbot and all those who have come and gone? I think they would be perfect with some pearls added somehow (ask your mom she’s a crafty lady!)
Good Morning Jami , I have a pullover jacket I’ve had since I had my kids and both are in there 30’s I don’t want to part with the jacket and still fits , so understand what your talking about, much love girl ❤
I had a 2007 Nesian Cube. It is the first "new" car I have ever owned. My husband bought it for me. We went on many small vacations when we could no go on our motorcycles. In 2017 it ended being the only possession I owned from the results of a house fire. That fire took my 2 precious cats and my wonderful husband. It was the most comfortable riding and driving car I have ever owned. I totaled it on the 5 year anniversary year of loosing my ride or die. I still think of that car every day so if you are crazy then welcome to my world. Jami I so enjoy you and your outlook. I followed you from day one and will till one of us is no longer around. You truly touch my life. Have a blessed day.
Jami, there maybe another reason that is making you even more emotional than your accustom to is known as menopause. It can intensive your emotions. You have had a lot happen especially this past year. It will eventually find its balance. Going thru the change affects each of us differently. My most notable symptom was the hot flashes. Being highly emotional for you may be your body’s release valve now. Stay strong all will balance out. You have your garden, horses, alpacas, and Lester (of course) to get you thru. With Love Always
I can't top the perfect comment to describe my reaction to this video than the one you pinned. There are many wonderful people in this internet family that you've created Jami! Exactly because of beautiful and touching videos like this one! Thank you, Janice 🌷
Jami, I have a special item that has a lot of memories for me. It’s a Carhart long sleeve shirt that my late husband wore. I wear it every year when the weather is cold and it’s part of him so it’s starting to look a little worn but I still wear it….😢🙏
I have a pair of boots that I wore in college and walked along across the SIUC campus. The soles are wearing thin and unevenly, but I can't get rid of them. I may look at having them resoled because I love them so much.
Jami you are just an emotional roller coaster, it's age when I turned 45 I wrestled with my emotions so bad it was a crazy battle everything lttle hurt my heart hugs to you it gets better 😊
When I found a boot or shoe that I really liked, I'd go get another pair and put in tge closet. ❤ I had a pair of boots that I got when I was 20, I loved those boots and I finally gave them away when I was 65. 😂 Only for the fact I wouldn't ever be able to wear them again. ❤😢
I know how you feel. My last car was hard to part with for all the memories and miles the car took me. From the eclipse in 2017, to hospital trips with my parents and the many early morning volunteer times. Those 117k miles, each one had a story.
Hey Jami, I think that you are looking at the boots as a reflection.. very healthy, I think. Life is a funny thing, and I think that women are hmm. I don't want to say wise, but we remember what we went through in a time frame of having things.. whether it be a pair of boots or old ring etc. Well done, Jami, for putting it out there.
Memories can come attached to some of the oddest things. When my grandfather was alive, I felt so important getting to help him tend to his boots. He taught me how to oil and buff them to nearly a glow. He didn't talk much, especially if the "womenfolk" were around, but if we were alone he would listen to me and we'd talk about how things were when he was growing up. This video made me think how scandalized he'd be to hear how rare it is now to find a cobbler to resole boots and shoes, and it made me smile. Keep those boots, Jami, and the memories tucked in them.
On a side note: if you put on new boots, u know how they just don’t live up to your old boots, we went on a cattle roundup vacation to North Dakota years ago and was told submerge your new boots in water trough, then empty them out, put them on and wear for the rest of the day, yes while they are wet and let them dry on your feet, then when you take them off that night, the next morning will feel like an old pair, that feel so good, my jaw dropped when they said put a brand new pair of boots in a water trough…but I tried it and it was worth it…just saying
I had to start wearing my "new boots" this week too. My old boots... the heal was wore down to be almost same level as the rest of the sole. My "new" boots are actually probably over 5 years old, I just never wore them since they were supposed to be my "town" boots.
Good morning Jami I don’t like to break new shoes in so try to get them resolved my husband would get his work boots resolved one time have a good day be safe ❤
Oh, it is sad to take those boots off and put on a new pair. You have walked through thick or thin good or bad . They could tell a story by their selves. 89 dollars isnt bad for a good pair of boots. Making a planter out of them is a great idea. My best friend planted flowers in hers. They turned out cute. I hope these new pair of boots will make great memories for you.❤
Good Morning ,Plant some flowers in your old boots and put them out in front of the Greenhouse or your backdoor .I did that will my adult son's Highschool Baseball Shoes .( lol back in the day 😂)
Good morning Jami and fur and feathered babies. Yes I do believe we ladies are more sentimental about items than men are. I think it would be a fantastic idea to make them into planters. The chapter's will continue and make new memories for the new boots. You upgraded from white Nikes to boots. You didn't see that happening 😅. Have a fantastic day 😊❤❤
I have the exact same pair of boots! I had to buy a new pair and I got the same ones again! I used my old pair as planters for lavender and they are at my front door!

It is just beautiful there Jamie your garden looks so great. And yes those shoes or boots I should say have seen a lot haven’t they?❤
LOL you're so sweet Jami. I want to tell you it's hormones but I don't want to ruin the moment. Us women all go through some "boot" days. ❤
My husband used to get his boots RE-Soled & New Heels. He wore them for driving his Semi's. Shoe repair shops are far & in-between today. Have you checked the area for one? Maybe Uriel knows of one. Couldn't hurt to look, right! Luv ya: Gram👵in Tx. 🙏❤

I with a lot of people. Get them resoled. Easy fix and you get to keep them.
Be safe ❤😊❤
Morning from Iowa ❤
Would they be welcomed in the JL Ranch truck project?
Keep the boots, Ms.Jami have them resoled and make new memories. ❤ ❤
I was going to say the same thing. She can have them resoled.
This is what I came here to say.
Go to a cobbler and have your boots resoled. Many people get their boots resoled. Specially well loved boots.
Is there any cobblers still around...?
I'm coming to say the same thing! Jami, don't make planters out of them. Put them on top of your bookcase or cabniets and use them like bookends for your cookbooks.
Yes Jami take them get them repaired don't get rid of them boots
I was just about to say exactly the same thing 😊
That's what I was thinking
Get them resoled and repaired Jami those boots still have life in them
I have a pair of 3x mens sweat pants that were my Dad's, he passed in 2009. I still wear them. I have washed them over and over but in my head, I can still smell him. I know it's not possible, they smell like fresh laundry but I still smell him. A cat was "making biscuits" on my leg last year and made a hole with her claw, I cried my eyes out 😢. I immediately mended them and they are ok now. Strange to say, I feel comforted and strong in them, even just on my couch. I wore them thru through my separation and divorce, all of my emotional days, they give me strength. I know it's not the sweatpants, it's my subconscious. He taught me so many life trades, how to do carpentry, plumbing, change a flat tire, change my oil, check all fluids in the car. He always taught me to be strong and be reliant on my own self. I lost my Mom when I was 17. I have her robe ❤. I love this video more than you will ever know. Much love from St Louis

@@FromSuitstoBoots they will fall off me, they are BIG and the tie string is in a knot that I can't get out. They literally fall to my ankles. I don't care, I wear them anyway. 💙
@@tracyfrazier4278 same here, I use a nappy safety pin and pin them up to my bra lol, I also have his Xmas sweater which I always wear Xmas week
I still have some of my dad's stuff & some of my mom's too.
Some things even if you retire them are just meant to be kept no matter what.
I don't feel so bad, my brother, my hero passed in 2012 and I still sleep in his work shirts. Every time I put one on or take it off it's like a big bear hug.
Go to a good cobbler, I had a pair of boots that I wore every day for 29 years, he finally said retire them, there is no leather left to stretch. So I buried them in the field!

That’s right, shoes and boots can be re-soled over and over again!!! Don’t throw away your boots!!! Find a shoe repair place close by!!!❤❤❤
Just about to say get them re-soled, I took my ex-husband boots year's ago and got them done, my daughter wanted a pair of hers done but sadly she'd worn them out too much above the sole, she now knows to get them done sooner ♥️👋🇬🇧
Amen bless you though are important!!❤❤❤
I love the idea of using the boots as a planter! They have seen, done, and walked through so many experiences. I can't wait to see them used as a planter!💚💚💚
I was coming to say the same thing!
Or every pair she and Lester retires, make all the planters!! How cute
Awesome idea.
Jami take the boots to the shoe repair shop and have them “resoled”.. we were so poor I couldn’t get new shoes, instead my mama had my shoes resoled.
Fire, flood, drought, birth, death, mortal injury, love, growth and joy. A mile in your boots.❤
You’ve had a full year…it’s been my honor and privilege to have watched your channel over this last year and some…Jami you and Lester are living a super blessed life. Thank you for sharing your journey with the millions of subscribers!
Take your old boots to the shoe repair shop in Cleveland and get them resoled!

I can't believe that in my 50's I chosen to start a farm and begin a new life. It's been a stressful long year of getting the property ready. But either today or tomorrow our first animals will be here on our farm. Wish my family luck, I have 2 adult children (disabled) and a 10 year old grandson that are along for the ride. 😂 Hubby has no idea what he's in for either! 🤣 Our grandson has Asperger's (autism) and knows everything about all the animals we're going to raise. I finally convinced him we can't get a dolphin or a penguin for our pond. 🤷🤦 Have a wonderful day! Much love from our family to your family 💞
#replay Jami 💓 that was so heart warning. My sweet BFF 💗 and I was crying to but it reminded me of my grandmother and a conversation she and I had not about shoes but her hands, she was always saying her hands were so ugly, so one day I asked her what all her hands had done and at this time she was 99 year's old and she started telling me and I told her after all the thousands of biscuits and meals she had cooked and all the children she had took care of and all the cotton she holed and picked and all the love and all the prayers that she had folded her hands and prayed that to me they are the most beautiful hands that I have ever seen. She lived to be 101 years old and I miss hearing her prayers. Thank you for reminding me of how much meaning that the small things matter, has small has a pair of Boots or a granddaughter's hands. Jami you are a special lady. Love y'all and God bless you and your family and all the animals and feather's 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Jami, those boots will make you smile with lovely little flowers in them, and you'll see them every day.x

This episode fits your page name…from suits to BOOTS ❤️
You’ve scooted those boots through thick and thin, happy and sad, and this is a sweet boot eulogy. 🥰
Dear boots,
Our adventure started with a click of a button and a ride to my doorstep!! Our journey started when my feet touched your sole and then hit the ground creating miles of memories. You were with me through good times, sad times and happy times. Many happy hellos and a some sad goodbyes. We got dirty and we got muddy. We walked and walked and you were with me through rain, wind and even fire. Through stories told and some just between you and me, you were always right there!! Memories made and though you are wore out So, your journey is not over. So from one soul to another sole, I thank you!!!❤❤❤
So Beautiful….❤❤❤❤
This is so beautifully written ❤❤❤
Beautiful
When shoes/boots fit well, that's a huge challenge. And all the memories tied to them. They deserve to be re-souled(soled) and given new life. Much like us given renewed breath.
I lost my sister from.brain cancer 3 years ago. She told me that before she passed that I get all of her clothes and shoes. Well we were the same shoe size and I wore her favorite sketches for years. I wore them on every trip and many regular days until the soles came off and the fabric was holy. In those shoes I took her to Nashville twice, and drove from Maine to Texas twice with all the stops in between. I did finally throw them away but after many years of use I felt I could stand on my own 2 feet. I was stronger now. She was my best friend, my confidant and Co worker and is terribly missed. I still have other pieces of clothing of hers but they don't mean the same thing. Hold onto those boots and you'll have those special memories to look back on for many years . ❤
❤Don't throw them out Jami, get them re-soled. It will be worth it & you will be so glad you did!🤠
Jami, I still have my show boots an English saddle from my days of showing horses and ponies, and I will never give them up seen that makes me remember how what a wonderful childhood and teen years I had!❤❤❤❤. Enjoy your blessed day XXXO 💕😁
Jami you wore them through the good bad & ugly and it's not how they look but how they were worn and you wore them with grace & dignity girl we had the same idea a cool boot pot for flowers or like my sister has done a bird house 💖🙏
Jami you're ready for new boots!! Just think of all the adventures you'll have with this new pair!! Much luck and love!! 👢💗
I have my husband’s boots he passed can’t get rid of. I understand Jamie life is a roller coaster. The older I get the more. I understand it much love grandma kathleen 💚
Love you and Lester and all your babies. Keep up the Awesome work ❤❤❤❤
Sometimes it's hard to break in new shoes or boots 👢 😕 🤔 But it has to happen, I have trouble letting go of a shoe that just feels good.....❤😊
Take those boots to a shoe repair place and get them resoled. My dad and mom do that to their still good shoes. Just a thought. Great video . Love watching you and Lester .
Those boots were made for walking,and they sure have, those boots have a great History. ❤
I got my prom dress for the year that I graduated cuz my senior class bought it for me because we lost our house in a fire that year in 1989 and I still have it to this day.
I highly recommend Timberland boots for excellent support, waterproofing and
durability. You get what you pay for, in boots. I do have a pair of steel toed boots, from Walmart, and a pair of cowboy boots, heck, I have a bunch of boots. But my Timberlands are my forever boots. Every pair has a different purpose, but my black suede hikers with rubber souls have been my favorite, forever.
I can't wear cowboy boots all day every day, anymore. I wish I could, but nope.
Those new boots are pretty fancy, Jami! I hope they wear in okay!
We all have that one thing that holds memories for us. Glad you are keeping this pare and planting flowers in them. They will still make you happy. Enjoy them! ❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love it
❤❤❤❤❤❤
You can have soles of boots redone at boot shops❤❤❤❤
❤Memories❤
Yes..keep for memories❤
Nothing strange about that..Your forever always..❤❤Awesome& Kind&Caring..good soft hearted❤
We Love that about you
❤Jami❤
Don't change Anything of You❤
Those boots have been through your life's ups and downs. They are special memories and making a planter out of them is a great idea. It'll be new beginnings like an old able (soul) finding new life and purpose. ❤
Good morning Jamie
I love your new boots.
Jami
Good morning Jami! Those boots were made for walking and you’ve definitely done that. Oh the miles you’ve walked in those boots to love and care for all the babies along Lester’s side as well as creating a beautiful home. You’ve not only planted a lot of love and care into the babies but into the soil as well. Your boots have a story to tell. Hope you a blessed day! ❤
I have to say this really touched me this morning because ever since my heart failure two years ago, I had multiple strokes and ended up with compartment syndrome and drop foot. I have had numerous surgeries on my foot and I cannot get into my boots anymore I lived in those boots, and nobody understands what I’m going through because they are such a big part of me. I wore those to fish, to hunt, to hike to work outside in the garden to work outside with the animals. The boots were such a big part of who I am and I am no longer able to wear them which makes me not that person anymore and my heart has been shattered but everyone around me just thinks it’s silly and they don’t understand me at all. It is so depressing I sit in my house and cry because all I want is my foot to be back so I can get back to who I was. I cannot be that person in crocs and unfortunately that’s the only shoe that I can put on this deformed foot. I am afraid I will never be able to look cute or beautiful again. I am surrounded by all of these beautiful women, and I am no longer one of them and it shatters me. I feel like I’m never going to have my life back and every time I see someone in boots it is so painful because I used to be that girl and I miss her so much.
@Kpeace0105, I am sorry for all of your medical problems. I,too, am not ready to give up on the person I was. Here's to us, girlfriend🎉🎉🎉
@@dianekaib9488 to us ❤️🥂
GOOD MORNING JAMI...love you and your videos , was just wondering why you didnt take ernie and oakie since annie was the protrector at ISS//sending love from your adopted gram in Ct xo
Ernie and oaki are staying at ima survivors due to needing to be desexed and oaki is to young can't be done till at least 2 years
It's not weird... My 15-year-old GE heating pad died this weekend... I almost cried, I turned it off and on, tryin' to see if it had ONE MORE spark of life left, it did not, I have not thrown it away yet. The new AUTO shut-off one's SUCK.. that old heating pad has seen a lot and served me and my family very well... she will be missed, I am searching online for a new in-the-box, VENTIGE GE heating pad or a new one without auto-shutoff... ( you can have boots resoled...
Jami, boot stretch is nothing more than rubbing alcohol in a tiny spray bottle, but 100% more expensive. Spray it on the insides, & put them on damp. Works wonders. I've been using it for years. Try it. It may be just the ticket. & Dr. Shoals (sp?) Of course. ❤❤
Good Morning Jami,💕 Love your new boots 👢 They look lovely and comfortable 👏👍🩵
You have been through so much and here you are, like a Badazz, showing us All that trauma doesn't have to be a life-long sentence and that it can be overcome. But it takes baby steps and one day at a time💞. Jami, I burn through the soles of ariets and justin boots every 6months. Like, completely down to the inner leather sole. BUT, My Corral boot soles last 2 years☺️👍🏼.
I have to have new soles put on all my boots at least once. If you would like, I would be Happy to take your boots to my cobbler guy. He will make your boots almost new again . I would love to do this for You. Plz, LMK🩷
This makes me think of the song, "I'm Gonna Be (500 miles)"
Of course insert woman in place of man, lol.
"When I'm workin', yes, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's workin' hard for you
And when the money comes in for the work I do
I'll pass almost every penny on to you
When I come home (When I come home), oh, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who comes back home to you"
Hi Jami, boots tell many stories ❤.
I love the idea of bronzing yours .
Those boots are beautiful history ❤
Have a wonderful day Ms Jami.
Aloha friend
Can you make them flower holders for a rainbow bridge garden memorial for Dixie, Huck, Abbot and all those who have come and gone? I think they would be perfect with some pearls added somehow (ask your mom she’s a crafty lady!)
Good Morning Jami , I have a pullover jacket I’ve had since I had my kids and both are in there 30’s I don’t want to part with the jacket and still fits , so understand what your talking about, much love girl ❤
I had a 2007 Nesian Cube. It is the first "new" car I have ever owned. My husband bought it for me. We went on many small vacations when we could no go on our motorcycles. In 2017 it ended being the only possession I owned from the results of a house fire. That fire took my 2 precious cats and my wonderful husband. It was the most comfortable riding and driving car I have ever owned. I totaled it on the 5 year anniversary year of loosing my ride or die. I still think of that car every day so if you are crazy then welcome to my world. Jami I so enjoy you and your outlook. I followed you from day one and will till one of us is no longer around. You truly touch my life. Have a blessed day.
Jami, there maybe another reason that is making you even more emotional than your accustom to is known as menopause. It can intensive your emotions. You have had a lot happen especially this past year. It will eventually find its balance. Going thru the change affects each of us differently. My most notable symptom was the hot flashes. Being highly emotional for you may be your body’s release valve now. Stay strong all will balance out. You have your garden, horses, alpacas, and Lester (of course) to get you thru. With Love Always
I can't top the perfect comment to describe my reaction to this video than the one you pinned. There are many wonderful people in this internet family that you've created Jami! Exactly because of beautiful and touching videos like this one! Thank you, Janice 🌷
Jami, I have a special item that has a lot of memories for me. It’s a Carhart long sleeve shirt that my late husband wore. I wear it every year when the weather is cold and it’s part of him so it’s starting to look a little worn but I still wear it….😢🙏
I have a pair of boots that I wore in college and walked along across the SIUC campus. The soles are wearing thin and unevenly, but I can't get rid of them. I may look at having them resoled because I love them so much.
Jami you are just an emotional roller coaster, it's age when I turned 45 I wrestled with my emotions so bad it was a crazy battle everything lttle hurt my heart hugs to you it gets better 😊
When I found a boot or shoe that I really liked, I'd go get another pair and put in tge closet. ❤
I had a pair of boots that I got when I was 20, I loved those boots and I finally gave them away when I was 65. 😂
Only for the fact I wouldn't ever be able to wear them again. ❤😢
I would definitely have something that has such an emotional tie resoled. There's a lot of life left in them. Hugs.
I know how you feel. My last car was hard to part with for all the memories and miles the car took me. From the eclipse in 2017, to hospital trips with my parents and the many early morning volunteer times. Those 117k miles, each one had a story.
Jami, There is Randy’s Boot & Saddle Repair 210 N Travis Ave in Cleveland. Go repair those old soles.
Hey Jami, I think that you are looking at the boots as a reflection.. very healthy, I think.
Life is a funny thing, and I think that women are hmm. I don't want to say wise, but we remember what we went through in a time frame of having things.. whether it be a pair of boots or old ring etc.
Well done, Jami, for putting it out there.
I would resole them I was raised to oil them and shine them. Their have to still be cobbler's in Texas right?😅😂🧡💜🧡
Love your new boots 👢👢
Memories can come attached to some of the oddest things. When my grandfather was alive, I felt so important getting to help him tend to his boots. He taught me how to oil and buff them to nearly a glow. He didn't talk much, especially if the "womenfolk" were around, but if we were alone he would listen to me and we'd talk about how things were when he was growing up. This video made me think how scandalized he'd be to hear how rare it is now to find a cobbler to resole boots and shoes, and it made me smile. Keep those boots, Jami, and the memories tucked in them.
The boots can sit on the dashboard of the rusty old pickup. They'll be out of the weather. But still be on didplay.
New boooooots!
On a side note: if you put on new boots, u know how they just don’t live up to your old boots, we went on a cattle roundup vacation to North Dakota years ago and was told submerge your new boots in water trough, then empty them out, put them on and wear for the rest of the day, yes while they are wet and let them dry on your feet, then when you take them off that night, the next morning will feel like an old pair, that feel so good, my jaw dropped when they said put a brand new pair of boots in a water trough…but I tried it and it was worth it…just saying
The only shoes I have a hard time moving on from are my birkenstocks. I LOVE those shoes!
It’s taken 6 years to make you a Texan but it finally happened 🎊 congratulations 🎉😅
I had to start wearing my "new boots" this week too. My old boots... the heal was wore down to be almost same level as the rest of the sole. My "new" boots are actually probably over 5 years old, I just never wore them since they were supposed to be my "town" boots.
Good morning Jami I don’t like to break new shoes in so try to get them resolved my husband would get his work boots resolved one time have a good day be safe ❤
I feel just like your boots Jami, broken down and tired. 😮💨
Hi jami, I like your new boots they look nice on you. I don't know about the donkeys they don't like them
I have to resole my shoes I Love you Lady I'm thinking of you 😊🕯🧡💜🧡
Yes Great Analogy might not be right word but I get it the relationship between our souls and soles wearing out ❤
Morning Jami love the new boots hope they are comfortable .can you get new soles put on them
Oh, it is sad to take those boots off and put on a new pair. You have walked through thick or thin good or bad . They could tell a story by their selves. 89 dollars isnt bad for a good pair of boots. Making a planter out of them is a great idea. My best friend planted flowers in hers. They turned out cute. I hope these new pair of boots will make great memories for you.❤
If you can find a good shoe repair shop, they can probably put new soles on your old boots.
Have the old ones resoled.
Or bronzed. Probably cost a small fortune, I don't think people even do that for baby shoes any more.
@sindimitchell149 I had my son's shoes bronzed
jamie just remember these boots are made for walking and making memories
You are so right Jami. Souls wear out before the body. 🤗
Good Morning ,Plant some flowers in your old boots and put them out in front of the Greenhouse or your backdoor .I did that will my adult son's Highschool Baseball Shoes .( lol back in the day 😂)
I am sure a shoe repair store can repair them. My dance boots are on their third set of soles.
Jami you do no you can have your 👢👢👢 resoled we get ours done each year way to comfy
I’m sure there is an repair shop for your worn out boots. Research
Get them re-soled!
Good morning Jami and fur and feathered babies. Yes I do believe we ladies are more sentimental about items than men are. I think it would be a fantastic idea to make them into planters. The chapter's will continue and make new memories for the new boots. You upgraded from white Nikes to boots. You didn't see that happening 😅. Have a fantastic day 😊❤❤
I have the exact same pair of boots! I had to buy a new pair and I got the same ones again! I used my old pair as planters for lavender and they are at my front door!
You can plant anything you want in those boots and they can be your memory boots. Love you Jamie!
Jami
Jami, this is one of your Best videos. Its right up there with your walks and talks with Dixie. Thank you for sharing your memories and boots.
Nice boots! 😊
