As a young child my favorite thing to do was roller skate. I had several new pairs of skates:) My sister, Micki, got my hand-me-downs when I outgrew them. (I don't remember her ever getting new ones for herself) I remember the white skates I got from MamaBill and DaddyDoyle for Christmas one year. I EVEN HAD BLUE BELL FUZZY POMPOMS ON THEM! I thought I was the stuff!
(PLAY THIS SONG AS YOU READ! HA)
When I think about skating...I get in the "MAGIC WHEELS" zone. Oh my goodness...that was my "place". COOL=Magic Wheels. It brings a smile to my face just talking about it. I can still hear Blondie singing "The Tide is High" as I made my way around the rink...feeling very cool:) Skating was a big part of my childhood. Today I was looking through stuff on facebook and thought I would re-share this story. It is truly my all-time favorite memory.
THE SKATING INCIDENT
When I first started teaching I lived in an apartment by the park in Gleason. There is a round walking track around the ball fields. JoMeagan was spending the day with me. We had pizza for lunch and afterwards came back and decided to go try out the roller blades over at the park. We made a round and were doing great...it was all coming back to me. <I was a skater as a kid> When she rounded the next corner she wiped out...not a graceful fall either. I was laughing so hard I could not breathe...of course after I saw that she was ok. Then she gets up and she has split her pants...we continue skating around with her split pants and me laughing with tears in my eyes. As we reach the far side of the park it hits me...motion sickness...I drug myself to the bench and started throwing up like crazy! When I finally stop I look up and see JoMeagan left me out there! The bad thing I had to skate the rest of the way back home...and I am a grown woman out there! I put a bucket on top of the area I got sick and I want you to know that bucket stayed out there for months! I would laugh every time I walked the track...it was my little secret! SO, JoMeagan is great until you embarrass her:)
Don't you just love old skating music?
Here are a few more to refresh your memory...YOU WILL LOVE THIS!
