Good grief its Friday again. ( A small add on if you don't mind. This is Saturday not Friday. Thanks Jackie for catching my mistake. You're a sweetheart.)Fast forwarding days, zipping by at lightening speed.The weather has been wonderful and just keeps filling you with the desire to be outside. Today my Blog is a little different as I am writing it about someone my kids love and care for, their Dad. And also his wife because Al and Mae just go together, just like cake and ice cream. So have a great day. Here goes.
Well I made it through my two day mini Blog crisis and here I am. A total nut, I would never try to discourage that theory. Truth must sometimes stand alone. The Blog I am writing today is about a Champion rollerskating dancer. It is his birthday today.He is seventy-seven years old. I suppose there will be some who might feel that it might be in bad taste to run a picture of your ex-husband and his wife on your Blog. I must confess I don't feel that way at all. Take a look at the picture at the top, the young couples on the right. Al and his partner, she must remain nameless as I don't know her name. Back in his younger years Al was a accomplished skater and danced in competitions and won many. Isn't that cool. I wonder if all the little ones know that their great-grandfather could skate with the best. All dressed up in a snazzy suit, he whizzed around the floor, danced, did them all. I for one think that is a great accomplishment. So today Al, I would like to say happy Birthday.
Also at the top you will see the picture of him and his wife. Her name is Mae and I think so highly of her. They are a great couple, soul mates. That I believe. They have been married for twenty-three years. And have always been a active part in the kids life.
I get aggravated sometimes when younger people look at older folks. Thats just what they do, look and say "Oh there is a old man, there's a old woman. They never see deep closely at the person who lives inside that shell. The woman might have been a nurse, heck even a Doctor. The man a sailor, or even a dancer, one on skates. The years that have aged their outside bodies has not taken away the inside. The singer, the optimist. Whatever they were, they still are. My Momma use to say, "Don't judge a book by it's cover." Don't judge a older person by the fact they have a few wrinkles, oh okay in my case alot, but look beyond the years, see what all they have accomplished. You might be surprised if you took the time to talk to them. Find out about their life's. Al was a sailor. Aboard a big ship during the Korean war. I'm sure he has stories, many stories that could hold you spell bound for awhile. So though this may be your birthday Al and folks might think you are getting older. Really who you are is still that Dancer on skates, that wowed the crowd. I think so anyway.
Well another day. I am so proud I wasn't late today. Who would have ever thought a little thing like a Blog could cause me so many insecurities. I want to finish this, I truly do. So as I wander off to the edge of Blog land and think about what new Blog lies ahead. I leave you with the wish you call the Dance King and say Happy Birthday. See ya.
