To climb the hill is hard indeed
but at the top, your soul is freed
to sail beyond your wildest dream
or coast into a tranquil scene.
The pace, of course, is up to you.
Go BIG, or just enjoy the view.
But either way, each journey's end
is always waiting 'round the bend
and better savored with a friend.
=)
As you can see, my grandson and his buddy are into longboarding these days.
Don't they pursue their new hobby in beautiful surroundings?
Thanks to my talented daughter-in-law for the photos.

They appear to good at lonboarding - the term is new to me. And I'm sure it is enjoyed more with a friend than alone. :)
ReplyDeleteI tried skateboarding once. I nearly killed myself. Ditto dirt bike riding, at which my brother declared me a complete menace. Unless I'm in a swimming pool or car, my feet need to be on the ground, not wheels!
ReplyDeleteNow they look to be having great fun
ReplyDeleteha. my son wants on of the long street boards...i spent many an afternoon out there skating myself..still do...try to be a bit more careful now...smiles.

Hi Sue! Visiting through the Alphabet link list - nice to meet you and view these lovely photos - I regularly visit your Mum's blog! She and Dick are such lovely people.
ReplyDeleteKudos to Heather. She is quite the pro. Honestly, between your poem and her pictures, you have woven a beautiful message.
ReplyDeleteLucky boys! What a pretty place. And longboarding uphill is hard! That was really fun.
ReplyDeleteWow, not every young long boarder has a grandma who can but words to the action quite like you do!
ReplyDeleteI was going to say, that's a long skateboard! Didn't know it was called longboarding. Neat! Good thing they have helmets! {:-D
ReplyDeleteIs longboarding a new version of skateboarding? Looks like fun and your poem is perfect with the pics. And yes, that is a lovely area where they live!
ReplyDeleteMy son is asking every day for a long board. His birthday is coming. I guess Ill be taking those photos soon too.
ReplyDeleteWonderful action shots of handsome dudes ~ looks like Fall there ~ ^_^
ReplyDeleteYep, longboarding is a throwback to surfing with a longboard. It's getting really popular in California, and from what Brian says, I guess it's getting a lot of play elsewhere, too.
ReplyDeleteBetter savored with a friend.
ReplyDeleteSo, so true!
These are beautiful photos, Sue! It looks like your grandson and friends are good longboarders.
