I always believed growing up in Billings, Montana was a wonderful thing.  We owned our first home when I was starting grade school.

We had great fun at that House.  The cement pads were handy for roller skating and skate boarding.  I remember being able to roller skate in the basement before it was finished.  We had the old fashioned key type of roller skates that you had to make fit over your shoes.

My Dad always said we were to put our roller skates away or he would take them away.  I forgot one time and my skates disappearded.  I did not dare mention that fact as I knew I had goofed.  I went several weeks before finding them under a turned over and upside down bushel basket off to the side of the back door step.  I did learn a lesson because it was hard to go without the skates and not say a word.  I sure was glad to be back with my wheels,lesson learned.!
