Beautiful story Doreen. I, too, have vivid memories of being with my dad on the "pond" down the street from where I grew up. Fires on the pond (complete with roasting hot dogs), skating around, playing hockey and frozen feet!! Really enjoyed your memories.

I went once to that pond with you, your dad and siblings. I recall how smooth the ice was, no bumps from the snow. and so much space to skate. I also remember Zwickers! He took us there to get our skates sharpened.

Well we must have rolled out the red carpet for you! (The ice was usually very bumpy!) Yes, Zwicker's was a favorite of my dads and we even took Justin there when he was playing hockey. Thank you for the reminder. :)
