Cinderella and the Glass Skates
Mom and I went yard saling on Sunday during the Bridge fest and there was a lot of traffic. Then we headed for the hills and took the back roads, and we came to this fork in the road. Mom turned towards me and said “Should we go straight to Bridgeton or take the longer way around on Rosedale road”? “Well how about lets go on Rosedale road maybe we’ll find more yard sales that way.”
We went that way and we had been driving for a long time when I spotted a yard sale sign. I got all excited and we turned in the driveway (it was kind of a hidden drive so we couldn’t see what it had until we were right there.) My heart started to sink when I saw that it was a bunch of middle-aged men and two year old girl stuff. I said to mom “It looks like a bunch of crap” but Mom said “Let’s see any way.” Reluctantly I did.
As I was digging through all that junk, I just so happened to look over and saw THE SKATES! I had wanted skates for a real long time. Not roller blades but skates. Mom was on the other side of the yard sale, so I squeaked (because I was very excited and I could not talk plainly) “Mommy, Mommy look! What size are they?” I asked. “7,” Mom told me. With that I felt like my heart shriveled and turned black like a prune. “Try them on anyway,” she said. “Okay,” I replied. So I loosened the laces like a roller skating Cinderella trying on a glass skate, and once I got them on I got all excited. “They fit!” I exclaimed. “Yeah, maybe they are men’s,” Mom said. “And hey look everything is half off that means they’ll only be $2.50!,” I cried. “Do you want them?” Mom asked jokingly, because she knew I was about to pee my pants in excitement. “Yes!” I squealed.
So I and Skate Charming lived happily ever after.

Wow, sounds like you are really going to enjoy those new skates. I have a neat idea, you should ask those two Aunt's of yours, Bagel & Garlic, to take you to the Wigwam and show you how to shoot the duck. I heard back in their early days they were quite the team.

Aunt Bagel and I would love to strut our stuff at the Wigwam! I don't know how well we could get down to do Shoot the Duck in the third trimester of our pregnancies, but it would definately fun to watch.
Congratulations on your skates! Will you just be using them at the rink or are these outdoor skates?

No I've skated on them on paved trails and stuff. As a matter of fact I just went skating at the park today. It was really fun exept for the corn that was laying on parts of the trail. It made me fall down a lot, which of course made Mom laugh.

Wonderful story - especially because it's true! God is very good. Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart. Ps. 37:4

Hey that's cool! My little sister Aria has skates. Actually she's been wearing them all day! I used to have in-line skates, but I grew out of them... :( I gave them to my brother.
