North Platte, Nebraska (April 1967) — It’s snowing outside while I’m in Phys Ed class, heavy wet snow for Nebraska. I take my turn on the trampoline….. bounce…. bounce…. bounce. Higher and higher, cuz that’s all ever could really do…. bounce — and the lights go out!!!
That’s the only time I remember losing power in Nebraska and also the only time I remember school closed early due to weather. We had 9 inches of heavy late season snow…. and there were no school buses for kids that lived in town. Fortunately, our house was only four blocks away.
I had just turned 15 and would soon be moving to Texas.
(I think I’m going to turn this into a blog post at Exit78.com) 😉
Me t00. I like trampolines. I copied Jean & got a little one. I read that it’s the best exercise for the joints.
Kendall, Marie & Lydia each have the big kind with a mesh screen on the edge. My first view of Lydia’s was when Alina was standing still on it & suddenly flipped heels over head & was standing again!
No, most decidedly not my cup of tea. My hip joints may just dislocate!
Yes, you would have to be extra gentle. Not worth the space it would take.

It’s also good for the circulation and the immune system they say.
I have enough trouble with my balance as it is…
But I think they could be fun, I love the ones where the dog was “jumping” on the shadow and then seemed to be annoyed he wasn’t subduing it 🙂
Christmas Day evening unfolding – will reveal “toy shop” present real soon…it’s cute-as and has a use 🙂
The one I bought for the land has a handle bar you can hang on to. Apparently other people have trouble with balance too.
You have definitely aroused my curiosity about your present!
