Last night I took one of my granddaughters

roller skating...I used to go all of the time when I was a kid...all of the way up until I was about, ohhhhh, 16 or so. Skating parties our school put on or weekends for something to do. LOVED it giggle

Anyway...I took her to the same rink I used to go to and it was amazing to see that not much as changed. Skating to the beat of the loud music that plays....flickering lights.

There's always a huge array of people....parents with their small children...."tweenagers" being cool.....there's always a loner, usually a guy that's an AMAZING skater there all by himself....Older folks holding hands as they round the corners... daydream

Made me smile.....made my granddaughter smile....good time.....

Yeah, I remember our school skating parties. I came from a small town in Colorado and there wasn't too much entertainment there so we always looked forward to a different social activity.

It's funny, even though I liked to roller skate on my own metal wheel skates on our sidewalks in town I never really got too excited about rinks.
Ed..I always liked the loud music and skating to the beat. Even though you're there with a bunch of people, it was easy to just become part of the music as you skated 'round and 'round.....

El...No roller skating???? jaw drop comfort
Lgs...wave no! well not in my time...and even now, I don't think any of those Yanky type roller skate & ski rinks exist (I speak under correction, may exist in certain areas - I am in a farm, hilly billy type now existence grin) I used to take my young daughter (10) to quiet shopping centers on Sundays though just for the experience! I bought her skates...wine hug
