A chapter in the book Everyday Miracles

Skae date

"Come skate with us, "our grandkids said.
My husband grounded, "will end up dead! "
but those kids faces showing them with pride
when we found the rink and stepped inside  
 
My husband said, "I'll wait right there. "
and grabbed the closest, comfy chair.
"I'm not scared, "I said and grinned.
"I bet these ancient bones will mend."
 
I guess I fell a time or
The way that sometimes grandmas do.
But I wouldn't trade it for the world--
The skate with my grand boys and girl.
 
 
 
 
 
 




Well, this event is true, some facts have been played with just a little bit for the sake of the story. My husband was not there. Had he been, he probably tackled me rather than let me go out on the skate floor. Lol I did fall twice. But I didnâ??t hardly hurt myself at all. No broken bones and I think the bruise was well worth the adventure.
My mom and dad met at a skating rink in the 50s. in the 70s, my sister met her first husband there and in the early 80s, her second husband. Most of the members of my family have trophies or have one cash prizes rollerskating. I was never that good but I certainly do love it. Was an awesome day skating with my two teenage grandsons and my 10-year-old granddaughter.
Thanks for reading! I hope you got a grin out of this silly take. ð???
