I remember as a kid, concrete driveways and sidewalks were often the most popular areas in the neighborhood. Armed with the trusty ole "skate key", and our metal wheeled roller skates, we would tighten the clamps around the front of our shoes, (tennis shoes wouldn't work), and off we would go. Then, either the soles of the shoes would come apart, or the clamps would slip, just as we made that huge 6 inch jump off the wooden ramp we had built out of scrap lumber in the backyard. By the time roller skates had evolved into actual shoes, with the skates permanently attached, I had reached the age when other things became more of a priority. Watching Laila on her scooter in our backyard this morning was reminiscent of those good ole days on roller skates in the neighborhood. Yesterday, we drove out to Pet Smart, where there were several cats of various ages waiting for adoption. Since returning from our summer trip around the U.S., Patty is officially in the market for a kitty cat. She is trying to wait until after we work the Rodeo in Las Vegas, but I'm not sure that's going to happen. Fortunately, our neighbors, Michelle and Tony have several cats, and Patty can pop in next door for her kitty fix. Today is the day that Marc & Chandra are flying to Dallas for the NASCAR Race. If you get a chance to read this, hope you guys are having a great time.
