In continuing celebration of Loren’s birthday, Danny and I met Nicole (who spent the night – a rare privilege), Lauren, Jeanie, and John to go roller skating.

Nicole was pretty good, probably because of all the practice she has skating over at Gramalie’s. Danny was determined to get around the rink, but his feet kept scooting out from under him. About one hour into it, he got his roller legs, and had me escort him around the rink.

Nicole and I got to skate around once or twice together, but keeping Danny from cracking his head took most of my time and effort. The group finished off the celebration at McDonald’s for 69¢ cheeseburgers. Warm, sunny weather with strong, cool breezes.

Kathy had to work through all of this.

At night, Grant came over to join Kathy and I for a good scare from the movie “Flatliners.” Grant was so scared by several of the scenes that it gave me and Kathy the willies. Grant’s a good guy to have at scary movies.
