More Fantasy Ice Fishing

     After I wrote the last blog about my husband preparing for ice fishing, I realized this fantasizing started months ago!  His birthday is in August and he told his kids that all he wanted was boots for ice fishing.  He kept talking about the day he would travel to a new sporting goods store miles away to get his boots, and finally one day he was there.  He came home with these amazing boots.  They are so beautiful, so solid, so insulated, he really found the Cadillac of boots. (He asked me if I wanted a pair of these boots, too!)  As he was preparing his tilts, he took a break to show my his boots again, but this time he had to explain how an ice fisherman wears his boots.  Not only did he get boots, but the proper socks to wear.  He explained the barrier layer that is thin and keeps the wetness from sweat from touching your skin, then there was thick wool socks that absorb any sweat and keep the foot warm.  Then he put all socks on, then the boots and walked around to see how it felt, saying how he needed to break them in.  What does that involve, everybody?  More putting on the boots and more fantasy ice fishing!  (Eventually I will talk about how all of this relates to my art, yes, there is a correlation!)
