The Best Present

The Best Present, 18x24 oil

Simple things can bring so much joy, especially when we are children.  I found this old pair of roller skates, tucked away among random items in my garage.  I remember how hard it was to learn to skate with these, (no brakes).  This was before wearing a helmet was even a thought, never mind knee pads or wrist guards.  Amazingly I survived!
