I may have high arches, but ballet was definitely out, weak ankles (never could ice skate cause they'd shake so bad) and could trip over my own feet. Nickname growing up.....klutz.
Then I got the part of Tinkerbell in the 6th grade school play.....talk about a shocker. Wasn't really though cause I didn't get the part based on gracefulness, but my hairdo. Mother would frequently put my hair up in a bun or trying to keep my hair curled.....Shirley Temple style.![]()
I have never had very good balance. Do a gymnastic balance beam? Forget it. If I ever have to pass a DWI test by walking the white line, I'll be needing bail money. So I'm sure I wouldn't have been able to balance on my toes had I taken ballet which I didn't.
But I trust you didn't injure yourself friend Peach?

That's what my teacher said.
She said that it was very rare to find people with high arches and strong ankles. We were naturals she said, because of the ability to walk instantly on the flat round part of that heavily padded steel toe enclosure.
I was 6 at that time so I really didn't understand it ,till I was older.
By the time I understood it, I thought of it as a curse in gymnastics.
Man if I accidentally landed flat footed, it really hurt for a few seconds or so.
I also hatted when my mom did the Shirley temple look.
We complained about it but we all did it anyway just to please our mom's.![]()

I jarred poor Abby really hard so it impacted the whole top of my bone structure.
I couldn't walk well the rest of the day and that evening.
I had to stay off of it as much as possible, but by morning it was OK just a little tender for a couple of days.![]()
Then again the upside of having abnormally high arches was when I took ballet dancing classes. As soon as I put those shoes on I could walk very easily on my toes.
The others had trouble with it in the beginning.

Well glad there was no serious damage. You have definitely been through enough lately that you don't need that.
I do so poorly on ladders that I invested in a 10 ft folding ladder like they use in stores with high shelves. Has wide sturdy steps and hand rails on both sides. I can handle that okay.![]()

1 year ago today...we were fleeing the Paradise Camp Fire.
We thank those who assisted us in our time of need.
I think of Paradise and how much I really miss it. I hated it when we first moved there. But once it was gone...we realized how much that small community meant to us.
