Ice skates

My sister Helen and I share many memories. This is one she helped me with. We went to many Sonia Heine movies as the star. She always skated beautifully and won the male star, We decided to learn how to ice skate so went to the hardware store and bought great shoe skates, Then we went to Central Park in Topeka which was kind in the center of town. It was just a large pond then but was big. It was very cold. We did not get proficient but were able to stand up and move around. Our enthusiasm did not last long and neither did the ice. The ice skates found their way to the basement for 70 years where they were found by Helen's daughter-in-law, Julie who has a nice small fish pond with ice at her house. It is small so it stays frozen and now after all those years maybe the skates are going to get a life.
