Skating 101

The last time I was skating was back on February 4, 2008.

I had a bad fall that day on the back of my head.

I was never a good skater......certainly not like my four brothers.

Since then, whenever I venture on an icy surface, like yesterday on MacDonald Hill,

I am very careful of my footing and I MEAN very careful.

And knowing that our part of Nova Scotia 

has been covered in ice for the past four days now,

I dug out my pair of 'boot grippers' (with sharp teeth!!)

and walking on ice became somewhat less fearful for me.

Now to get a pair for Ron.
