20/11: Working on Enjoying Winter
Category: General
Posted by: The Agnew Family
I told Ed that if we were staying home for the winter we were going to enjoy it. One of the ways of enjoying winter is ice skating and our local arena offers seniors ice skating two mornings a week so we're going to make our bodies remember how to skate. My neighbour Ellen has a pair of ice skates that no longer fit her but happily fit me. Ed doesn't have skates so we decided that I would try it and if I liked it he would buy skates.
First time around I hung pretty close to the boards, but after that I got a little braver. I think it's been more than 40 years since I've been on skates, so I think I did pretty good. The years of skiing probably helped.
Looking a little stiff but skating with Rob and Ellen.
In 40 minutes I only fell twice --- I'm calling it a successful outing and Ed needs to buy skates.
