These Boots--

<--Anna Maria One year old



Anita Recio--maternal grandmother 1940--

My grandmother was a Cowgirl. These boots reminded me of her.



These Boots Are Made for Walkin'song by Nancy Sinatra, 1966

"You keep saying you've got something for me.
something you call love, but confess.
You've been a messin' where you shouldn't have been a messin'
and now someone else is gettin' all your best.

These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do
one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you.


~Cecil Cavender & Anita Recio ca. 1939--Brownsville, Texas with BIG BOY~


You keep lying, when you oughta be truthin'
and you keep losin' when you oughta not bet.
You keep samin' when you oughta be a changin'.
Now what's right is right, but you ain't been right yet.

These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do
one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you.

You keep playin' where you shouldn't be a playin
and you keep thinkin' that you´ll never get burnt.
Ha!

I just found me a brand new box of matches yeah
and what he knows you ain't HAD time to learn.

These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do
one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you.

Are you ready boots? Start walkin'!"

Note:
My grandmother at this time in her life was similar to the words in the song. Glad my own life has better circumstances than hers in that respect. She kept a steady course and things seemed to go in her favor in the long term. God bless her in trials that beset her for which she overcame. I treasure the pictures that tell her story in that form. I admire her also.
