N---------ICE

Patch of ice 7 feet by 2 feet

I have watched this girl EVERYday run out there
right after school to "skate".

HOURS later.......she begs me to come try.

Finally today I succumbed. YOU try to skate with a dog in the middle of your rink!

My inner Dorothy Hamil finally came through.

I even had her haircut in the 70's.
In fact, I even made a dress in high school
that was a "Dorothy Hamil Butterick Pattern".
Here let me google and see if I can find it.


Bummer. No luck. I was going to have to marry google if I could find it. I found plenty of other Dorothy Hamil patterns, but not my striped dress one. I even bowled in it. I know.


Marsha calls this her 'crazy feet' move. She slides back and forth and back and forth.
And 'they' say kids today have no imagination.

  3. looks like fun! we only had a little snow and ice this year and it didn't last for long and I kind of doubt we will be getting much more now - maybe a flurry or two.

  4. I had a Dorothy haircut too! Weren't we just too cool for school? Sadly, I also had the Farah Fawcett haircut. It takes a real person to admit that.

  7. Okay, it was like a one piece dress and I wore a big white belt with it. The material was striped JUST LIKE DOROTHY"s picture on the pattern. i think it was red, white and blue but not a patriotic coloring....more deeper colors and oh so very stylish. I bought the fabric at the downtown Burley fabric store. remember??

  10. Tee hee - me too on the haircut. Didn't look anything like Dorothy's though! It's good to re- visit our early geekiness once in a while!

  11. I guess that answers my question. It is still snowing in Idaho, or you still have snow on the ground. Either way it still looks like a beautiful sunny bright snowy winter wonderland. You go Dorthy! ooxx`jodi
