Skate!













Great vintage roller skating ephemera via flickr (so sorry, specific search/user link forgotten!). When I was but a wee girl, I would skate whenever and wherever possible. In the winter I just bundled up in the heavy coat and headed out (even amidst snow flurries) or practiced my "moves" in the garage to ABBA or Disco Duck cassettes.

    OMG, love this! I loved skating, especially ice. I thought I was "it" wearing my skaters skirt & my white skates. The skates were from Sears & my skirt was home made but I held my head high! I would still love to skate to ABBA!!! Great post :D deb

    Gosh, roller skating brings back memories. I was pretty darn good at it at one time. I remember the rink I used to frequent almost every night during the summer - great memories.

    How's your week going? Hope you have had a chance to rest up.
