We contact as many former skaters as we can find.
So after the Friday skate we are ready to have a good time. Former skaters are always excited to get together. It gets pretty noisy as people great one another and visit.

ReplyDeleteIs it un-Canadian of me to admit I've never learned how to skate?
Not un-Canadian at all! There's so much to do and be in this country that we can't be everything.
DeleteLooks like you all had a great time! I would love to go ice skating in NY at the Rockefeller Center. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteNow that's a place that a little old guy like me would stay away from. I don't like crowds.
DeleteThis looks a great time out. I'm glad it was a success.
ReplyDeleteUsually we have more people.
DeleteLots of fun it sounds. I used to eat mammoth amounts after playing hockey, especially ice cream. I love to get on that perfect ice, but skate ponds and creeks also. I have to go a ways to find a rink. My daughter drove the Zamboni a few years. As Red Green said, "Keep your stick to the ice" and live life good.
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing like artificial ice. It's softer and easier to skate on. I liked REd Green.
DeleteThe food looks yummy and I am glad you had fun!!
ReplyDeleteToo many choices...all good!
DeleteIt is so great that you have still so many oldies skating, amazing. We don't have so much ice-rings here, only a few.
ReplyDeleteWe used to have more skaters. They are trying to get seniors more involved in sports.
DeleteOh, Red, it's a wonderful tradition, much like our hikers Christmas gathering this past week. Thank you for taking the pictures and sharing them. They definitely are worth a thousand words. :-)
ReplyDeletethe two groups are very similar. we both have great Christmas parties.
Deletereally awesome - especially to invite the former skaters back to socialize and eat and share laughs!
ReplyDeleteIt's a great time. Who said seniors aren't lively?
DeleteNot a lot of ice skating where I grew up in Virginia and Oklahoma, but I did finally learn (kind of) when I moved to Massachusetts and took the kids skating.
ReplyDeleteI envy you your skating party. It looks like a lot of fun.
However, in Oklahoma you probably get some great tennis.
DeleteJEALOUS, which is pretty sinful this time of year.
ReplyDeleteOh forget the sin! It'll never hurt you.
DeleteWhat a grand time you all have had!
ReplyDeleteIt was a great time. Seniors can really have fun.
DeleteLooks like a splendid time is being had by all. How wonderful.
ReplyDeleteOld guys can have a really good time.
DeleteCan't beat a get together with friends and food. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteYou've got that right...it's a good time.
DeleteThat is a great time. After a nice skating workout, you get to enjoy all that fantastic food.
ReplyDeleteThere was a sinful variety of goodies.
DeleteFun! Looks like no one went away hungry:)
ReplyDeleteYes, there was lots left over. Funny how pot lucks always work out.
DeleteNow that looks like a fun party! The food looks good too! Wish I could ice skate. I used to roller skate. :)
ReplyDeleteHey, you could still roller skate. Roller blades are much more fun that the old roller skates. Roller blades are a lot like ice skating.
DeleteThat sounds like fun. I guess that many senior Canadians have known ice skating all their lives whereas here in England I only went skating once and kept falling on my ass so i never tried again. Ice is hard man!
ReplyDelete(My sincere apologies for referring to you as "American" on my blog)
This looks like great fun! I wish I could ice skate. I did try to learn. I really did. If I took a tumble now on the ice, I think I might break something. I'd love to watch you skate though.
ReplyDeleteOh how fun! I used to skate a long time ago, but I've got just horrid ankles and always seem to end up with a sprain or a bad fall. We had lots of goodies after our little church Christmas play last night..everyone loves to eat!! Merry Christmas!
