Summer arrived here - close to 90 every day and increasing humidity.
Patsy - highly recommended by Wray - Hilary Mantel, Wolf Hall and others - about England before and during Henry VIII. He doesn't like much fiction but he raved about this and one more that he read by her.
I've read a couple by Mariah Stewart - they are okay mysteries.
metal skates and key- up and down the block on the concrete walks.
shoe skates - I did a ton of that including taking a class with Girl Scouts and learning figure 8's and dancing backwards. From 6th-8th grade I went to a roller rink many Saturdays with a few other girls. No one had parents who would drive you back then so we took two buses or one bus and a long walk. That was when we started to use lipstick which was forbidden by parents when in the 6th grade. We used Tangee so it would be easy to wash off. Brazen weren't we? There is always that one girl.... and it wasn't me 🙂
