It's A Start!

The hubby was away, 

but that didn't stop me from heading back to the pond after work 

to try out my skates. We had cleared the snow off the ice twice,

but had yet to actually skate on it.

There was evidence that someone

had been enjoying the 

fruits of our labor.

Glad to see the boys have been playing hockey,

although the ice must have been a little soft

as it was quite cut up.

...one on.

...two on.

Up I go.

After over 15 years of not being on the ice,

it took me all but five minutes

to find out...

  

I can't skate

...I seem to have forgotten that!

Skates make my feet hurt like hell.

It's not that much fun skating alone.

I slipped my boots back on 

and gave the ice 

another scrape...

and 

headed home 

as

it was getting dark

...but I'm going back tomorrow.

Maybe

I'll keep

my skates on

ten

minutes.

Happy walking,
Marisa
