Good Evening everyone!!!!
Been a crazy day! Connor asked me to type a letter to a teacher this morning....not last night of course...and then I couldn't get the printer to work! Ugh! So we flew out the door. Then Jenn was home by 12!!! I left and called my friend and we met for lunch! Then I hit the Dollar Tree, Walmart and stopped at her house to pick up something I ordered from her daughter. Then home to make dinner! Put a roast and potatoes in the oven.
Even though I should have saved it for another day....since it's 65 degrees outside!!!! Almost balmy for this December day! There is a wind, and it's cool. We should be getting rain tonight and tomorrow, then changing over to snow for Thursday!
Growing up, I used to ice skate ALL winter! At the local park, they have soccer fields that have raised sides. Once the ground would freeze, the fire dept would fill them with water. Then we would skate all winter. I really was never very good at it, but we had fun anyway! I don't know if I could even skate today! It's been a LONG time! Now the local park here has purchased one of those artificial rinks. Last year it was out in the open on one of the soccer fields. This year, they pulled all the picnic tables out from under the large shelter, placed them around so parents can watch and set the rink in the shelter. Then if it's raining or snowing, it's covered! The shelter also has restrooms and a make shift concession stand, so they can rent skates and sell treats.
Off to sort wash and then have dinner!
Talk to ya later!
sounds like it's a nice set up for the rink!!! to be honest I prefer the indoor ones so it's not too cold LOL
