Skating on Ice
One of the things that I wanted to look into was skating on ice, and just
the other day I came across a book on skating that, took me back to my days on
ice. The Passion to Skate, is written by Sandra Bezic with David Hayes, and it
took me back to the times that I spent on ice. Not that I was ever that good,
just that I liked to skate, and it was another way to be out and about, and to
look good doing it. It was just a fun way to exercise for me most of the time.
And it was a way to get to meet and greet people that had different levels of
skills on the ice. How well you do is something that you need to decide, and if
you want to be good, then it is something that you will need to work on over
and over again. It is a matter of practice makes perfect, it teaches so many
skills, and if you like to skate, it is just a matter of enjoyment.Blue Skies Darkness. Skating on Ice. later light!💕😸🐾Sole Sisters: The Joys and Pains of Single Black Women: Deborah Calip: Blast To The Past.
There is a time or two that I recall more about the time that I spent on
the ice growing up that I wanted to recall and share with you. It may not have
been much, but I had a good time doing it, and it brought pleasure and joy to
all of us. It was not as if we were great, just that we liked to spent time
doing that. It was a group of us that used to meet on the weekend at the skating
ring on Sundays. It was the time we were suppose to be in church, and for us
this was church for us, and we liked it better also. On the ice we did not have
to listen to some songbird singing the people with cash for the cause of the
month, other than to supply the money for better and more for the mouth piece
that ran the church. So ice skating was the trade off, and it was so much
better, to us it was best on Sundays. Now it is time to lighten up.
The first time that we took Johnny skating was so funny, it was like he
forgot how to skate, and he kept falling. Sometimes when people fall they can
put on a great show, and they are funny falling, it was a thing about the
attention that was needed. Every Sunday
that we met, it was all about the colors, and we all wore all the same colors.
It was great to be part of a group, but enough about that, what about Johnny is
the subject that we are averring now. There was a time or two that we got to
together dress as animals. We dress as farm animals. Let’s see we had a cow,
chicken, fox, wolf, and two more hens. The cows were the easiest to make for
the time that we had on the ice. It was a matter of sweats, for the animals we could
buy the colors of the animals than change them in small ways to suit the animal
that we wanted to be. Around and around the ace is what were did knots of the
time, and we could get into some of the moves.Blue Skies Darkness. Skating on Ice. later light!💕😸🐾Sole Sisters: The Joys and Pains of Single Black Women: Deborah Calip: Blast To The Past.
We were always able to do other games on ice, we had the ice first then it
was cleared for the skaters with sticks. Never stayed to watch the games, did
not like them much, like the other type of skating better. It was a new
activity that had started when Jesus died,
and Jesse was not able to go on without his twin, so we had to start
doing different things, to help ease the pain of his death. It was just so sad
how he had died, and it was a waste also. They were going to be fourty two the
year he died, he had gone off alone to be alone, and it hurt Jesse so much that
he did not know what his other half ,that had shared so much with him.
Ice skating was an escape for all of us, and the group that we met on the
ice were like another family, and because the church group came at the same
time we were able to talk about things. There was the one time when Doug got in
trouble and went to jail for hitting Brandon, and Brandon thought it was his
fault, it was not and it took a lot of talking to let him know that his dad was
wrong. His dad was in time out, and he
was going to be fine, and it would have been if things had been different. All the papers were in place to change the
living arrangements, and then Mercy forgot who she was talking to and lost her
grip.Blue Skies Darkness. Skating on Ice. later light!💕😸🐾Sole Sisters: The Joys and Pains of Single Black Women: Deborah Calip: Blast To The Past.
