How many of you have skied in leather boots? I always was envious of my sibling’s plastic boots! Oh, sweet plastic. In time, I got mine. Today I only wonder what happened to those leather boots that got taken to the curb in a steel garbage can. Sadness, I would love to mount them above the fireplace.
I still have the memories. I remember having all black skis and then eventually ones that weren’t just black. There was a little bit of blue on them! They were fast!
Eventually Santa brought me Blue/White Rossignol with a Plastic top. That was amazing!!!
