I'm always amazed how quickly he wears a hole in the heel. He likes only one kind of sock (a grey work sock from Walmart) so I never have to match his socks up because they're all the same! :-)Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12575140898505901920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32199165.post-72466439327338431412009-03-28T22:11:00.000-04:002009-03-28T22:11:00.000-04:00They don't make socks like they used to.

I'm sick of it!<BR/><BR/>But I recycle them by using them for my horses. Now I don't feel guilty any more! I use them to wipe out the gunk in the corners of their eyes, or to cover my hands when I'm applying conditioners to their feet (perhaps THEY need socks?) or for scrubbing buckets, saddles and yes, horse peckers, lol. <BR/><BR/>www.GreenerPastures--ACityGirlGoesCountry.blogspot.comGreener Pastures--A City Girl Goes Countryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05448845964131250749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32199165.post-54570162651616302612009-03-28T13:41:00.000-04:002009-03-28T13:41:00.000-04:00My husband's a mechanic so you could imagine what ...My husband's a mechanic so you could imagine what his socks look like. I now only buy him grey or black ones because the white ones end up that way anyhow. What still befuddles me is why I always end up with only one sock???
