The Outcome of our Ebay Auction

Today three of our auction items ended on Ebay.  All three of them sold.  Overall I am pretty happy with the outcome.

Learning to rollerblade

I have always wanted to learn how to rollerblade.  Actually, I always wanted to learn to roller skate, because when I was a kid there was no such thing as rollerblades.  When I was a child, I could hold my own ice skating, but never could get the hang of roller skating.  There were some […]
