I don't remember if it was my sister Martha's birthday or if Ruth was just throwing a beatnik/limbo party for her
Ruth and Lewis were still newlyweds- who lived upstairs in an old house - their apartment was very cool- I thought it was the best place ever-
I had been included in this magical night- although all the other guests were friends of my sister Martha
Everyone wore black pants and most people had a black turtle neck type sweater-
The lights were very dim and I guess there was typical beatnik style music on the stereo
The limbo was hard but not as hard when you were a short bendy kid
I wish I could recall what we used for the limbo stick- I think it may have been an actual limbo stick
This is one of those childhood times that made it into the best memory category
As I write this from the dark recesses of time- I give that evening 10 snaps!
I remember doing the limbo at the roller rink as a kid...that was NOT easy to do!
ReplyDeleteIt certainly isn't easy for me now!
DeleteThe Limbo is not easy to do, on or off skates! LOL I do remember using a broom stick though!
ReplyDeleteGlad we weren't skating too!
DeleteI remember playing limbo at roller rinks; I usually didn't make it too far down though
ReplyDeletesounds like a fun party!
betty
I could never skate betty!
DeleteLynn, unfortunately, I've never been that flexible so I could probably only do limbo if the stick is at my height!
ReplyDeleteHaha I hear ya!
DeleteI tried the limbo once. My back has never been the same.
ReplyDeleteYeah probably responsible for lots of back probems of that era!
