There are no lights, or highrise buildings, or golden statue guy with flowing robes, but we do have a rink! Our very own, but we will share!
We went out on New Year's Eve and put our backs into the snow removal. There were about 4-5 inches of snow t0 push away. So we slipped on our skates, grabbed a couple of snow shovels and started working. My back is so very sore now, but it will be worth it all. Tonight, Zach will bring home the water pump and pump a couple of inches of water from the pond onto the rink and let it freeze overnight. It then should form a beautifully smooth and glossy surface. Then my skating talent husband will teach me how to skate better and even how to stop a little shorter than 4 or 5 feet.
Unfortunately, we can't skate till Sunday at the earliest since we are leaving Friday afternoon for South Dakota. We have to pick up a tractor loader for Zach's Dad. So about 9 or 10 hours on Friday, pick it up and then drive back! Yay? At least we will be together.
So if anyone wants to skate come on out and if we have enough people wanting to skate maybe you can help make it even bigger too!
