Ice Skating

My friend Amie and I were supposed to go ice skating yesterday, but she had to work, and the rink isn't open to the public in the evenings. This just got me to thinking about when I was a kid in small town Havre MT and there was a tiny little pond that was open, well I don't really remember if it even had times when you couldn't be on it. My sister had to reteach me how to ice skate every year. It was always bitter cold and so much fun. I hope that we get a cold spell here just long enough to freeze a lake so I can go ice skating again. The bummer thing about rinks nowadays is that by the time it's free skate, everyone and their dog is on the ice. I just want lots of space for me to fall down and not be embarrassed! :)
