And tell little Mr. Koen that we would greatly appreciate it if he could make a trip up this way and help us out with a little squirrel problem we're having.

I saw him skate once. It was after the rare occasion when he lost a bet. We dug his skates out of the attic, dusted and oiled them. We assembled at the skating rink down the street from our house with a handful of friends. He knew the owners of the place and they cleared the floor for him. It was magical. He went forward, he went backward, he went sideways, he boogied. The crowd was roaring...so he jumped. He soared through the air like a bird and landed right on his butt....bouncing bouncing bouncing down the floor. He didn't miss a beat, he got right back up, skated off the floor, out the door, into the parking lot and all the way home. I never saw him skate again. Thanks for the story Leigh and for reminding me of memories made at the skate rink!!!shellychancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11225380681680374847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3910944908737969258.post-91729724399809126212011-02-07T10:04:21.429-05:002011-02-07T10:04:21.429-05:00I know how you felt as it is just how I did when I...I know how you felt as it is just how I did when I took Dexter earlier this month.R Montalbanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05120909825589409116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3910944908737969258.post-3008796488734742592011-02-07T08:58:03.243-05:002011-02-07T08:58:03.243-05:00Looks like fun.
