Skipping Tennis, Scoring on Hockey Skates, and New Pizza

We had a brief discussion this past week and we pretty much decided that we didn’t want to go to tennis. It has snowed the night before, and though there was not much in the way of accumulation on the courts, it was cold. I asked the kids and they both gave it an emphatic thumbs down. In light of their lack of interest, I sure as heck wasn’t going to go.

So, we ran errands and got ready for the big weekend ahead. With Halloween right around the corner, there were last minute costume details to attend to. Also, we had to drop books off at the big-city library, get back to our town library, and then eat supper in time to go out once again for our town Halloween celebration. How’s that for a full schedule. I don’t even know how we would have squeezed in tennis even if we wanted to.

Now I feel like I can’t go out and about without stopping at the Listen Center to find assorted bargains. With the kids constantly growing (funny how that works) we are in constant need of upgrades in clothes and sporting gear. Their stocks change constantly, so the only way to see these changes is go regularly and hope for the best. As I mentioned before, we are in need of certain things, especially ice skates for A.

We went to the big Listen in WRJ and I found a pair of hockey skates, and they were in good condition. They were size 7, which might be a bit big for A, but she’s hovering around a size 6-6.5, so it wasn’t unthinkable. I asked her if she’d wear them and she was excited about getting new skates. We jetted over to Stateline and had them sharpened, and we were in business.

We then got pizza at the new pizza place in Windsor, Pizzaroni. They had a deal so we tried it out. Good pizza, though not the best, in my opinion. We then headed over to the Halloween fest in town and met mom later that night, but that’s a story for another time.

Until then, thanks for reading, and thanks to Robert Linder and ilker for the pics.
