New walker wearing shorts, tank top, and a baseball cap. Walking with a bounce to her step. She will get hot quick. Maybe she likes to sweat. Some people think it does no good unless you work up a good sweat. To each his own.
I don't know why I thought of this game. Many thoughts come on the Balcony. I loved playing Jacks. You remember the little rubber ball and the silver jacks to go with it? I think they come in colors now. A game played indoors or outside. Rain or shine, alone to practice or for fun with a friend. I loved the little red rubber ball. So soft but hard enough to bounce just right. Of course it got lost-maybe the cat got it. I loved to play in the summer when you would look for a smooth part of the sidewalk, under shade and feel the cool concrete as you sat to play. I bet the Dollar Tree still sells that fun little girl game. I wish for a shopping trip to the Doller Store. Lot of "bang for a buck." But if I bought a set, I would have trouble getting down and up again, so I wont go shopping for that game of Jacks for myself. How about you???

I was always terrible at Jacks. And don’t ever step on a lost jack barefoot!
My mom was a whiz at Jack's. I have a set of hers, minus the little red ball of course!
